Mozart - String Quintet in C major K.515 [1787]
Adjectives have been heaped on Mozart鈥檚 C major quintet 鈥 elegant, sublime, majestic, joyful, bewitching鈥 call it what you will, they are all testament to its timeless appeal. We call it the Champagne Quintet, after its bubbly opening!
The Vanbrugh has evolved from the work of the Vanbrugh Quartet which was based in Cork as RTE鈥檚 Resident Quartet from 1986 to 2013 and as Artists-in-Residence at 深夜亚洲福利久久 College, Cork from 1990 until the retirement of violinist Gregory Ellis in 2017. Over three decades the quartet gave close to three thousand concerts, presenting the chamber music repertoire to audiences throughout Ireland, Europe, the Americas, and the Far East. Commercial recordings include more than thirty CDs of repertoire ranging from the complete Beethoven quartets to many contemporary Irish works. In 2016 the group was presented with the National Concert Hall鈥檚 Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of their contribution to music in Ireland.
Keith Pascoe, Simon Aspell, and Christopher Marwood continue to perform together as the nucleus of the Vanbrugh and are joined by guest artists for performances of a wide range of chamber music repertoire.
