Distinguished musicians to perform in Tipperary

placeholder image — The Esposito Quartet

The Esposito Quartet comprises four of Ireland’s most distinguished musicians, all with a wealth of experience as recital artists, orchestral leaders, and teachers. They have been playing together as a quartet since 2010, naming it in honour of Michele Esposito, pianist, composer and RIAM professor.

For this performance at The Source, they feature one of John Kinsella’s finest works, his third quartet, written in 1977 during the final illness of his first wife; Grammy award-winning Rhiannon Giddens’ 'At the purchaser's option' is based on a song from her album 'Freedom Highway'. The concert opens with yet another entertaining quartet by Haydn and ends with one of Brahms’ most exuberant and joyful works, his B flat major quartet Op.67.
