24. Young Musicians Series
Olympia Quartet is the second of the four student Quartets taking part in the Festival Masterclasses. The Quartet is led by the prize-winning young Ukrainian violinist, Yevlaliia Yershova, with Ellen Crowley, Charlie Duff and Adam Joyce. They are studying in Cork and have also chosen one the Kronos ‘Fifty for the Future’ quartets, a short ‘Quartet movement’ by Philip Glass. They will also premiere a brand new work by one of the winners of the Festival’s Composition Competition for young Irish composers plus works by Mendelssohn's sister, Fanny Henschel, and Shostakovich's famously autobiographical Eight Quartet.

Daniel Anthony Vives-Lynch is one of the winners of this year's Composition Competition. His work was described by Deirdre Gribbin as having 'energy and drive.'

Admission: €7
