Dublin guitar quartet performs brave new music

                             Canadian debut: April 12 at Mooredale Concerts

     “A wonderful ensemble, the Dublin Guitar Quartet has carved a
            place for itself in the world of classical music.”
                         Philip Glass, composer

   “The classical guitar may have a quiet voice, but it makes up for
  it with a striking array of sonic colors, from drumming to delicate
 harmonies. Put four of the instruments together, and you have the

 best of both worlds: intricate detail and a near-orchestral palette of
                 sound backed up by hall-filling power.”
                          The Washington Post

           escribed as a “quartet with a difference” by the Irish
           Times, the Dublin Guitar Quartet occupies a unique
           space in the wider chamber music world, as the first
           classical guitar quartet devoted to new music.
      Since its formation in 2001 at the Dublin Conservatory of
 Music and Drama, the group has eschewed standard classical
 guitar repertoire in favour of developing its own arrangements
 of important international compositions. Its first arrangements
 included String Quartets No.2 (Company) and No.3 (Mishima) by
 Philip Glass, Summa by Arvo Pärt, String Quartet No.1 (White Man
 Sleeps) by Kevin Volans and Soundscapes over Landscapes by The
 Redneck Manifesto.
                                                                               It continues its trail blazing journey by adapting other

                                                                          with the composers directly to achieve the correct musical

                                                                          the ensemble performed Sofia Gubaidulina’s Repentance, a work

                              I bought it at The Bay a few years ago
(replacing one just like it only a different colour); it is slightly faded;
the “cut” is a very ungroovy mid thigh (you’re welcome!); and I’ll
keep wearing it until the elastic gives out and/or we threaten a
strategic wardrobe malfunction. (Before – I promise!).
      Why am I telling you about my trunks? Because my bathing
suit is just like all our Mooredale programs. The thing that makes
our Mooredale pool so special is that it isn’t the fanciest, it isn’t the
most high tech, we aren’t driven by the latest and greatest fads.
What do we have? Really good programs, nice facilities and GREAT
people — staff, volunteers and fellow swimmers.
      If you want laser purified water? Drone video off the diving
board? In-pool birthing classes? or whatever “cutting edge”
silliness you can imagine then maybe you’ll be happier swimming
elsewhere.
      Do you want a beautiful outdoor pool that opens in May and
closes Labour Day? Do you want great swimming (and essential
lessons) for your kids? Do you want charming and rigorous
lifeguards and instructors making you and your family feel safe
and welcome? And do you want to share that special experience
with neighbours, friends and other Mooredale members? Then you
know where we all belong!
