The world premiere of 'Second Quintet' by Nick Roth for accordion and string quartet was performed on May 6 2019 at the closing event of the 19th Sligo International Chamber Music Festival by Dermot Dunne, accordion and the Vogler String Quartet

Abstract

Nick Roth's second quintet was commissioned by the Sligo International Chamber Music Festival to be premiered by Dermot Dunne, accordion and the Vogler string quartet. The work draws on many aspects of the muezzin call to prayer in the Islamic faith including the various different modes (or maqaams) used in the call to prayer throughout the day. The work is a synthesis of the ISlamic call to prayer with contemporary composition techniques
