The Esposito Quartet is made up of Mia Cooper and Anna Cashell on violin, Joachim Roewer on viola and William Butt on cello. They have toured in every National String Quartet Foundation season since 2018, and The Glens Centre describes them as always bringing warmth and energy to their music-making. This Manorhamilton date is part of that touring circuit, which brings full-length chamber recitals to venues well outside the main concert halls.
The programme moves through three very different pieces. It opens with Haydn’s playful quartet in E flat major, then turns to a work by South African-born composer Kevin Volans, described by the venue as spare, rhythmic and hypnotic and drawing on African musical traditions. The concert closes with Dvorak, whose lyrically rich chamber writing gives the quartet room to open out. It is a programme that rewards close listening, and The Glens Centre’s small auditorium puts the audience within a few rows of the players.
The Glens Arts Centre is on The New Line in Manorhamilton, in north Leitrim. The town sits at a junction of routes in the Dartry uplands and is on the N16, the Sligo to Enniskillen road, which puts it roughly half an hour from Sligo city and a similar run from Enniskillen. Coming from the south of the county, the R280 runs up from Drumkeeran and Leitrim village. There is on-street parking in the town and a public car park close to the centre, and Local Link services connect Manorhamilton with Sligo, Kinlough and Dromahair, though evening timetables are limited so check before relying on them for a night show.
