They perform music of the highest quality and explore lesser-known works both from Britain and from abroad\, as well as standard classics such as Mozart’s oboe quartet. The quartet has been heard up and down the UK\, from Aberdeen to the Gregynog Festival in Wales\, Swaledale and Wimbledon Festivals\, Oxford\, Manchester\, Cambridge\, and at Wigmore Hall and Kings Place in London. Most recently they have toured internationally to the Netherlands\, Germany and Sweden.

SUMMARY:Music in Kilkenny Concert Series: The Vanbrugh & Friends
DESCRIPTION:OPW Kilkenny Castle is pleased to support Music in Kilkenny Concert Series once again. The concerts take place in different venues in Kilkenny throughout the season. The Parade Tower\, Kilkenny Castle is delighted to host four of these\, the first of which takes place on Sunday 6 October at 3pm. \nThe Vanbrugh & Friends\nKeith Pascoe – violin\, Marja Gaynor – violin\, Simon Aspell – viola\, Ed Creedon – viola\, Christopher Marwood – cello\, Maria O’Connor – cello \nProgramme: \nNikolai Rimsky-Korsakov – String Sextet in A major \nFranz Schubert – String Quintet in C major D.956 \nMonumental\, intimate\, dreamy\, earthy\, triumphant\, despairing… Schubert’s extraordinary string quintet is all of these things and more. It was the last completed work of the terminally ill 31-year-old composer and is recognised as one of the greatest works in Western music. Rimsky-Korsakov’s 1876 string sextet is\, by contrast\, a seldom played rarity\, but is full of charm and invention\, exploiting the rich sonority of the six instruments to the full and featuring a lyrical and expressive slow movement. \nThe Vanbrugh has evolved from the work of the Vanbrugh Quartet which was based in Cork as RTE’s Resident Quartet from 1986 to 2013 and as Artists-in-Residence at University College\, Cork from 1990 until the retirement of violinist Gregory Ellis in 2017. Over three decades the quartet gave close to three thousand concerts\, presenting the chamber music repertoire to audiences throughout Ireland\, Europe\, the Americas\, and the Far East. Commercial recordings include more than thirty CDs of repertoire ranging from the complete Beethoven quartets to many contemporary Irish works. In 2016 the group was presented with the National Concert Hall’s Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of their contribution to music in Ireland. Keith Pascoe\, Simon Aspell\, and Christopher Marwood continue to perform together as the nucleus of the Vanbrugh and are joined by guest artists for performances of a wide range of chamber music repertoire.

SUMMARY:PRIDE and PROTEST - BRÓD agus AGÓID - 50 years of LGBT Liberation in Ireland
DESCRIPTION:As Ireland marks a half century of LGBT activism\, Kilkenny Castle is delighted to host a talk by Tonie Walsh\, founder of the Irish Queer Archives. The talk will trace the evolution of queer activism on the island of Ireland; from the formation of Belfast’s Gay Liberation Society (1972) and the hugely influential Sexual Liberation Movement (1973) at Dublin’s TCD to the establishment of community resources and mainstream advocacy groups across all our cities and large towns.\nThis is a potted history of the LGBT civil rights movement as it fights state-sponsored homophobia\, cycles of violence\, media and government censorship and conservative Christian values to advance visibility and Senator David Norris’ Constitutional Action; following decriminalisation\, the advent of equality legislation throughout the 1990s\, culminating in the Equal Status Act in 2000 and\, fifteen years later\, Marriage Equality and the Gender Recognition Act.\nIrish LGBT liberation didn’t happen in a vacuum; important political and socio-cultural currents like the Northern Irish civil rights movement and the second wave of feminism\, even membership of the EU\, all impacted on the movement for change. \nThis event is free\, seats will be allocated on a first come first served basis.\nDoors open 30 minutes before start of event.\nFor information contact Kilkenny Castle team on 046 942 3020 / kilkennycastleinfo@opw.ie

As brightly coloured devices on banner and shield\, they served to distinguish one mail-clad knight from another. With the passage of time\, they became hereditary and can be seen today on monuments and as decoration in manuscripts\, stained glass and many other media\, where they can convey much information about the families who bore them.\n\nReception at Kilkenny Castle 6pm followed by talk 7pm\nConference Supper\, Club House\, Kilkenny\, 8.15pm (Optional) Lecture and Reception €15. Conference Supper €30.\n\nFor more information see www.kilkennyarchaeologicalsociety.ie or call 056 7722893 (Rothe House)
