In her first appearance at the festival back in 2009, pianist Polina leschenko delighted St Canice’s with her phenomenal technique and deep sensitivity. This year she returns with a quartet of outstanding musicians, including iyla gringolts, “one of the most inspirational violinists today” (The Financial Times); Nathan Braude, a young viola player with “the qualities of a world-class soloist” (Limburgs Dagblad); and Swedish cellist Torleif Thedéen, professor at the edsberg Music Institute in Stockholm. Together, this exciting quartet presents an enchanting programme including Chopin’s festive Polonaise Brillante, written when he was just 19 years old, ravel’s Duo for Violin and Cello, dedicated to the memory of Debussy, and Fauré’s dream of romantic elopement, Après un Rêve, along with his hauntingly beautiful Piano Quartet in C minor.
