About this event
Robin Tritschler, tenor
Carducci Quartet
Recorded at St Jude-On-The-Hill, Hampstead, London
R Clarke: Poem for String Quartet
L van Beethoven: String Quartet No 1 in F Major Op 18 No 1
E Rubbra: Amoretti Op 43
The dynamic combination of the outstanding Carducci Quartet and compelling tenor, Robin Tritschler, bring us an evening concert from St Jude’s on the Hill, London which includes the romantic poetic setting of British composer, Edmund Rubbra’s expressive Amoretti cycle. With text by Edmund Spenser, the work is a demonstration of the composer’s love for his wife Antoinette for whom he also wrote a violin sonata. Another English work, Rebecca Clarke’s Poem for String Quartet, features. New to many of our music lovers this work has been described as “a lovely, generously expressive, finely made composition in the romantic tradition.” (San Francisco Chronicle). Few chamber music festivals would be complete without Beethoven whose string quartets over 200 years later remain to the fore of the genre. On this occasion we look forward his First String Quartet played by the exhilarating Carduccis.
This recital remains available to view online until Sunday, June 27th at 11.00 pm

Organiser Dublin International Chamber Music Festival
Organiser of Robin Tritschler and the Carducci Quartet
The Dublin International Chamber Music Festival (formerly Great Music in Irish Houses) is Ireland’s longest-established chamber music festival and was founded in Castletown House in 1970. Since then, the month of June has been a musical summer must for Irish chamber music devotees. Our objective was and still is, to present concerts of chamber music, “the music of friends” in the sort of smaller, intimate spaces for which the music was originally written, away from the more formal setting of a concert hall. Over the years we have offered Irish audiences the opportunity to hear some of the finest international and Irish artists perform a vast range of chamber music in a variety of Ireland’s most historic and notable buildings, spaces that would not normally resound with beautiful and exciting music. Stately Irish Houses are juxtaposed with some of the country’s iconic, modern buildings showing the diversity of Irish architectural and interior design. From that small sapling planted in Castletown House, the great oak that is now the current Festival has grown and is recognised widely as a prestigious platform for world-class musicians.
DICMF is a non-profit making organisation and depends on the support of sponsors and Friends to continue its work into the future. It is funded by The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon and the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
