THE Callino Quartet takes to the stage at St Mary's Cathedral on Monday June 22.
The internationally successful string quartet formed at the West Cork Chamber Music Festival in 1999. They regularly broadcast on Lyric FM and BBC Radio 3 and have also appeared several times on RTE television. The Quartet have impressed audiences both at home and abroad with their fresh, enthusiastic approach and are now well established on the international stage. Callino Quartet have worked with everyone from Arcade Fire to pianist Barry Douglas. They toured in Norway and Holland several times and also appeared at festivals in Lithuania, Italy and the Czech Republic. The Quartet was awarded a Special Prize at the 2002 Paulo Borciani String Quartet Competition for their performance of Haydn and since then has enjoyed collaborations with such diverse artists as the Vanbrugh, Vogler and Belcea String Quartets, double-bassist Edgar Meyer, the Paris-Bastille Wind Octet and jazz guitarist John Abercrombie. The Quartet has commissioned and premiered new works by Ian Wilson, Raymond Deane and Finnish composer Kimmo Hakola and worked closely with Edgar Meyer, Peteris Vasks and Franghiz Ali-Zadeh on their works for string quartet. Recent and forthcoming performances include appearances at the Cheltenham, Sligo New Music and Clandeboye Festivals, concert tours of Scotland as winners of the Tunnell Trust Award, concerts in Ireland and the UK. Earlier this year they released their first commercial CD of works by Irish composer Ian Wilson to great critical acclaim. The Callino Quartet will perform Mozart Quartet in C major K.157, Mendelssohn String Quintet No.1 in A major Op.18 with John Lynch on viola and Schubert Quartet in B flat major D.112 at St Mary's Cathedral on June 22. Tickets cost €20/€15. For further information or bookings contact the Belltable on 061-319866. |
