Recognised internationally as one of the finest chamber music partners, Irish pianist John O’Conor, collaborates with the exuberant Navarra Quartet for its return visit to the Festival. Prizewinners at the Melbourne and Florence International Chamber Music Competitions, the Navarra Quartet was formed in 2002 at the Royal Northern College of Music, and has studied with such distinguished musicians as Gabor Takács-Nagy and the Chillingrian and Endellion String Quartets. The Quartet’s performance with one of Ireland’s finest musical ambassadors will undoubtedly be one of this year’s Festival highlights.
