Experience NOVO Quartet live on June 27th

NOVO Quartet will perform at St Brendan’s Church in Bantry, County Cork, Ireland on June 27, 2026. The quartet is recognised for its dynamic and innovative approach to string quartet performance, frequently commissioning new works and blending traditional repertoire with contemporary compositions. Their style incorporates elements of modern classical music alongside influences from folk and jazz traditions, often described as emotionally resonant and technically assured.

St Brendan’s Church is a significant historical building in Bantry, originally constructed in 1842-1845 following the demolition of an earlier church on the site. Designed by the architect James Joseph McCarthy, it is noted for its Gothic Revival architecture and prominent location overlooking Bantry Bay. The church features stained glass windows and a distinctive bell tower, serving as a landmark within the town. It has undergone renovations over the years to maintain its structural integrity and aesthetic qualities while continuing to function as a place of worship and community gathering. The acoustics within the church are considered favourable for musical performances due to its stone construction and high ceilings.
