Haza performed by RTE Contempo Quartet, National Gallery of Ireland

Kaleidoscope present a programme of music to complement the exhibition Käthe Kollwitz: Life, Death and War, now on display in the Print Gallery. Featuring pieces by the rarely heard female Czech composer, Vítēzslava Kaprálová, and a Schoenberg work based on a poem by Richard Dehmel, the programme offers a unique opportunity to connect with Kollwitz through the music of two contemporaries, mirrored by music from two female composers who preceded and followed her.

Programme:

Clara Schumann: 6 Lieder, Op 13
Rory Musgrave (baritone), Lance Coburn (piano)

Vítēzslava Kaprálová: “April Preludes” Op. 13
Lance Coburn (piano)

Linda Buckley: “Haza” for string quartet & electronics
