Victoria Vita Poleva: Simurgh-Quintet

This concert opens with one of Mozart’s best-known violin sonatas, a work that sings with brilliance and cheerfulness, the few moments of introspection soon cast aside with a flourish. This Sonata can boast one of his loveliest slow movements followed by an exuberant Finale that banishes all serious thoughts. Victoria Poleva is a Ukrainian composer as Anna Fedorova is a Ukrainian pianist. Simurgh Quintet is a magical work for the Simurgh is a mythical flying creature in Persian mythology that is believed to help purify the environment and provide fertility. The bird symbolized the union between the sky and earth by serving as a messenger between the two. The music hovers between pianissimo and piano gradually building the tension until the giant bird slowly awakens and with a sudden burst rises into the sky and vanishes. Brahms G minor Piano Quartet was written at a time when he still gave his richly romantic themes a chance to breathe and allow us to luxuriate in this magnificent music, the slow movement in particular is a thing of wonder.

Concert is a part of the West Cork Chamber Music Festival.

Wassim Ibrahim: Salat- Al Amal Prayer of Hope

I composed this piece , It is written for a string trio with a rhythm that is both dance-like and deeply spiritual. The musical language draws on the mystical tones of chants from both churches and mosques in Damascus—echoes of Aramaic hymns and Islamic prayers.
