Add to my Calendar 20-10-2024 18:30 20-10-2024 20:30 36 Darragh Morgan & Mary Dullea For this special concert, as part of Bloomsbury Festival, Darragh Morgan and Mary Dullea explore themes of ‘human’ qualities and ‘kindness’ in their programme. Musical art is a force that inspires and connects humankind, evoking our desire to create artistic expression. Plato said music gives soul to the universe. Reflecting on ‘human’ qualities and ‘kindness’, Darragh Morgan (violin) and Mary Dullea (piano) have created a programme that teases out the fantastical and the familial. The title of Arvo Pärt’s Fratres translates as ‘brothers’. César Franck’s Violin and Piano Sonata is one of the giants of the repertoire and was composed as a wedding gift for the ‘King of the Violin’, Eugène Ysäye. It is a work with an inventive structure and cyclic form, themes reappearing in later movements, and a central Recitativo-Fantasia movement. ‘Human Kind’ in terms of our relation to the universe and coming into being is explored in Deirdre McKay’s a quarter million miles from the moon and Evis Sammoutis’s Monogenesis. Hannah Kendall’s A Winged Spirit and a set of Chick Corea’s inimitable Children’s Songs complete this journey. In BBC Music Magazine this duo is hailed as: ‘The two soloists are agile, incisive and impassioned’. Violinist Darragh Morgan and pianist Mary Dullea are members of ‘the virtuosic Fidelio Trio’ (Sunday Times). They have performed across the globe from Wigmore Hall to Seoul Arts Centre, Phillips Collection Washington DC to Shanghai Oriental Arts Centre. They have recorded over 100 albums for labels including NMC, Naxos, Resonus Classics and Mode Records which have received critical acclaim and multiple awards including Gramophone Magazine Editor’s Choice and Diapason d’Or. “hugely impressive, Darragh Morgan plays with seemingly effortless control” — The Strad Conway Hall, London DD/MM/YYYY
