John Toal introduces performances of music by Boulanger, Turina, Scriabin and Gribbin.

John Toal introduces Siobhán Doyle and Alexei Grynyuk playing Boulanger, the Pacifica Quartet performing Turina and Gribbin, and Anna Fedorova performing Scriabin.

John Toal introduces highlights from the 2021 West Cork Chamber Music Festival, with performances presented virtually from across Europe and the US.

Today's programme begins with two short pieces by Lili Boulanger - her Nocturne and Cortege - played by violinist Siobhán Doyle and pianist Alexei Grynyuk in Studio 150, Amsterdam

Joaquín Turina's La Oración del Torero, the Prayer of the Bullfighter, follows. This tone poem for String Quartet is performed by the Grammy-winning Pacifica Quartet in the Auer Hall of Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University

The dark and sinister Black Mass Piano Sonata by Scriabin comes next. It's performed by Anna Fedorova in the Kleine Zaal at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam.

And finally, we return to Indiana University for the World Premiere of Dark Matter Hunting by the Northern Irish composer Deirdre Gribbin.  It was commissioned by the West Cork Chamber Music Festival and is performed by the Pacifica Quartet.
