From Antiquity to Modernity: 'Ménage à trois'

Curated by Berginald Rash, the series takes a playful and joyous approach – juxtaposing the old and the new, the canonical and well-known to and recently reappraised and celebrated.

This concert introduces the celebrated violinist, Ronald Long Jr., and the brilliant and highly sought after pianist, HyeSoo Kang to Irish audiences. These musicians go full tilt in Stravinsky’s neoclassical trio Suite from The Soldier’s Tale, Bartok’s fiery and dazzling Contrasts, and American composer Quinn Mason’s sublimely incandescent Two Fleeting Daydreams. Nestled between these show stopping trios, audiences will be delighted by the late George Walker’s Violin Sonata No. 1 & Bernstein’s Clarinet Sonata that foreshadows themes from his West Side Story.
