Recitals from the Belfast Music Society's International Festival of Chamber Music 2018.

The Armida Quartet performs Prokofiev and pianist Llyr Williams plays a selection of pieces from Tchaikovsky's The Seasons.

John Toal presents performances from this year's Belfast Music Society International Festival of Chamber Music. In today's recital, soprano Ailish Tynan is joined by pianist Iain Burnside in a performance of Grieg's Six Songs, Op. 48, some of which were inspired by his wife Nina. They are all settings of works by six different German poets and published in the 1880s. Following this, pianist Llŷr Williams with a selection of Tchaikovsky's "The Seasons"- April, June, November and February. Tchaikovsky wrote the work shortly after the premiere of his first Piano Concerto and as he said, was "in the mood for piano pieces."

Completing today's programme, the Armida Quartet perform Prokofiev's String Quartet No. 2 in F Major, Op. 92, which premiered in Moscow in April 1942. The piece has folk music influences which Prokofiev would have heard while living in the Caucasus having been evacuated out of Moscow due to the German invasion a year before.
