For the 2025 festival, co- founder, Sinéad, cellist in the renowned Marmen Quartet, will perform with members of the Marmen Quartet, Johannes Marmén (violin), Laia Valentin Braun (violin) and Bryony Gibson-Cornish (viola). They will be joined by Slovenian clarinettist Aliaž Beguš. The programme will travel across the centuries with beloved works by Mozart, Brahms, Bartók and Dvořák alongside contemporary works, including works by Irish composers, Sam Perkin and Ben Dwyer. The debut album from the Marmen, who have been signed to BIS, will be released in January.
Ortús Chamber Music Festival will also feature Irish Traditional group, Strung - Lucia MacPartlin and Maria Ryan (violins), Kaitlin Cullen-Verhuez (cello) and Luke Howard (piano) - who specialise in a fusion of traditional Irish and classical music and Lucia and Maria’s fiddle duo.
