About

The Ficino Quartet comprises four of our most inspirational musicians and has featured in NSQF’s programme each year since 2019. This autumn they revive a lovely quartet by Ian Wilson and look forward to next year’s Beethoven anniversary with performances of his epic C sharp minor quartet. Ian Wilson ’s beautifully descriptive and atmospheric Lyric Suite was commissioned by RTÉ Lyric FM in 2004. It comprises Seven Elegiac Pieces which the composer describes as songs without words which explore a range of colours and emotions in their brief spans.
