SUMMARY:A World of Quartets with Raja Quartet: Autumn String Quartet Series 2026
DESCRIPTION:The brilliant Raja Quartet opens a treasure trove of great music from the first half of the 20th century\, from Ukraine\, Argentina and Ireland. \n\nDonetsk-born Prokofiev's first string quartet was first performed in Washington in 1931. At the time Prokofiev was living in Paris\, having fled his native land after the 1917 Russian Revolution. This wonderful quartet combines music of exuberant brilliance with gorgeous tunes and a deep\, expressive melancholy. \n\nAloys Fleischmann wrote his lovely Movement for String Quartet while a student at University College\, Cork 1927-1932. It was performed privately in Munich in 1932 but not publicly until 2010 when the RT Vanbrugh Quartet played it in UCC's Glucksman Gallery - and many times thereafter. \n\nGinastera's stunning first string quartet is still one of the great unknowns in the quartet repertoire. Rooted in the rhythmic energy of Argentinian folk tradition this is wild and thrilling music - save for a haunting slow movement - and will bring this concert to a memorable close. \n\nRaja Quartet \n\nPhoebe White\, violin \n\nClaire Wells\, violin \n\nMartin Moriarty\, viola \n\nCallum Owens\, cello \n\nThe Programme \n\nProkofiev - String Quartet No.1 [1930] \n\nAloys Fleischmann - Quartet Movement [c.1930] \n\nGinastera - String Quartet No.1 [1948]
