Sonoro Quartet live in Bantry

Experience Sonoro Quartet live on July 1st

Sonoro Quartet will perform at St Brendan’s Church in Bantry, County Cork, Ireland on July 1st, 2026. The quartet is known for its interpretations of classical and contemporary music for string quartet, frequently incorporating elements of jazz improvisation and extended techniques into their performances. Their repertoire spans composers from Haydn and Beethoven to modern works by living artists, often focusing on pieces that explore textural innovation and emotional depth.

St Brendan’s Church is a significant landmark in Bantry, originally constructed in 1836 as part of the estate of Richard White, the first Earl of Bantry. Designed by Thomas Duff, it’s built in the Gothic Revival style and features notable stained glass windows depicting scenes from the life of Saint Brendan the Navigator. The church underwent substantial restoration work in the late 20th century to address structural issues and preserve its architectural heritage. It remains an active place of worship within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cork and Ross while also functioning as a venue for cultural events due to its acoustics and historical importance within the local community. The building is recognised for its impressive stone masonry and overall aesthetic contribution to Bantry town.
