Before a New Harbour Can Be Built Difficult Things Must Be Worked Out

The Vespertine Quintet launch their first eagerly anticipated record 'Before a New Harbour Can Be Built, Difficult Things Must Be Worked Out' with a celebration concert in their spiritual home of De Barras on Sunday 23rd April. The quintet (which is made up of traditional string quartet and piano, with additional electronics, voices and other quirky instruments) began as a way to get through a particularly dark West Cork winter, hosting house concerts and playing the lush and ethereal music of Icelandic composer Olafur Arnalds and Estonian Arvo Pärt.
