Alexander Borodin – String Quartet No.2 in D major [1881]
For their third NSQF tour the Solas Quartet presents Borodin’s D major quartet, famous for its Nocturne featured in the 1953 musical Kismet. Their programme opens with Matthew Locke’s curtain raiser to a 1674 London production of The Tempest and features the first performances of a new quartet by Katherine Hunka, a theatrical look at power dynamics within a group. The quartet finish the concert with gorgeous arrangements of two Irish tunes by Marja Gaynor.
