Performance by The Cuarteto Iberia & Elmore Quartet
In early March, the Cuarteto Iberia from Madrid is making a return visit to Drimnin. They were in Drimnin in May last year and enthralled us with their playing. They are joined this year by the award-winning Elmore Quartet, which had its origins in the Royal Northern College of Music and whose members are now Fellows of the Guildhall School of Music in London.
The quartets will both be coached by John Myerscough, the cellist of the renowned Doric Quartet, former music director of the Mendelssohn on Mull festival. John is Professor of Cello and Chamber Music at the Royal Academy of Music. There will be two concerts: Friday 7th March at 7 pm and Saturday 8th March at 2 pm.
Everyone is welcome, details of the programmes for the concerts will be available on the St Columba’s Drimnin Trust website: www.stcolumbasdrimnin.org or by emailing: drimnin.chapel@gmail.com at the beginning of that week.

Save The Date 14th-15th June
Do also save the date for the return of the Cuarteto Iberia and the Elmore Quartet in the week commencing 9 June with concerts expected on the 14th and 15th of June. They will be joined in this week by the Isla Quartet. This marks the new format for selected quartets who will receive two separate weeks of coaching within the year to ensure maximum benefit from the residencies.
