.Michael McHale's three-concert series The Portico of Ards ending in style alongside Michael Collins. Stately Weber, effervescent Poulenc and intriguing piece by Abbie Betinis stepping away from choral music among several pleasures. BBC Radio 3 relay to follow.





An afternoon with Beethoven in unsettled mood with the Opp.59 No.1, 74 & 95 quartets mitigated by the incisiveness and creamy accenting of Calidore Str Quartet at Portico of Ards, Portaferry. Recorded for future BBC Radio 3 broadcast hosted by John Toal.
