The Lir Quartet are here on SATURDAY as part of our Quartets at Triskel - Autumn 2019 Series, in association with the National String Quartet Foundation.⠀
⠀
We've introduced #allocatedseating for all music concerts (with a beautiful bespoke design by local #artist Kim-Ling Morris of @samplestudios) so you can now pre-book your favourite seat and avoid the queues. We don't charge booking fees!⠀
⠀
Founded for Barry Douglas’ 2017 Clandeboye Festival, the Lir Quartet is one of Ireland’s most exciting chamber groups and they are joined for their tour this autumn by violinist Patrick Rafter. Schubert’s E flat quartet D.87 is a masterpiece of Viennese charm and elegance, written in 1813 when Schubert was just 17. Shostakovich’s third quartet, from 1946, is one of the finest, most evocative works in the repertoire, a heart-rending response to the horror of the Second World War.⠀

The National String Quartet Foundation is a legacy of the work of the Vanbrugh Quartet. Resident Quartet to RTÉ from 1986 to 2013 and Artists in Residence at University College, Cork from 1990 until the retirement of violinist Gregory Ellis in 2017, the Vanbrugh Quartet gave nearly 2,000 concerts throughout Ireland as well as enjoying a successful international career.⠀
⠀
The Foundation creates and sponsors projects which bring live chamber music to audiences throughout Ireland. It is committed to supporting musicians who wish to explore and perform the string quartet repertoire and to helping concert promoters present this rich and rewarding music.⠀

Guess what ... Marianne & Leonard is coming back to #TriskelCinema AGAIN! ⠀
⠀
Marianne & Leonard: Words Of Love (15A) is screening from Sun 13 until Thurs 17 Oct. ⠀
⠀
Marianne & Leonard – Words of Love is a beautiful yet tragic love story between Leonard Cohen and his Norwegian muse Marianne Ihlen. Their love began on the idyllic Greek island of Hydra in 1960 as part of a bohemian community of foreign artists, writers and musicians. The film follows their relationship from the early days on Hydra, a humble time of ‘free love’ and open marriage, to how their love evolved when Leonard became a successful musician.⠀
⠀
It was on Hydra in 1968 that director Nick Broomfield, then aged 20, first met Marianne Ihlen. Marianne introduced him to Leonard Cohen’s music and also encouraged Nick to make his first film and was an enormous influence on him.⠀
⠀
Marianne and Leonard’s was a love story that would continue for the rest of their lives. Along the way we learn of the tragedy that befell those that could not survive the beauty of Hydra, the highs and lows of Leonard’s career, and the inspirational power that Marianne possessed. Marianne and Leonard died three months apart.⠀
⠀
It'll be accompanied by #SHORTFILM Deborah Harry Does Not Like Interviews (18 minutes, directed by Meghan Fredrich): Blondie’s Debbie Harry endures years of superficial, tedious, and demeaning questions from journalists until she devises a brilliant way to turn interviews on their head. ⠀
⠀

The last film in #TriskelCinema Music Documentary Season is The Curious Works of Roger Doyle (Preview) PG⠀
⠀
This feature documentary looks at the life’s work of Irish composer Roger Doyle as he stages one of his most ambitious musical projects; his first electronic opera.⠀
⠀
As the film observes the preparations for the opera, it takes a trip through the unique music of the “Godfather of Irish electronica” and features contributions from his many collaborators such as actress Olwen Fouere, theatre director Selina Cartmell and some of Ireland’s first wave of pioneering filmmakers from the 1970s and 1980s including Joe Comerford, Bob Quinn and Cathal Black.⠀

Miles Davis: horn player, bandleader, innovator. Elegant, intellectual, vain. Callous, conflicted, controversial. Magnificent, mercurial. Genius. The very embodiment of cool. The man with a sound so beautiful it could break your heart.⠀
⠀
Watch Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool (NC) #TriskelCinema Music Documentary Season on Wed 16 Oct at 8.45pm.⠀
⠀
The central theme of Miles Davis’s life was his restless determination to break boundaries and live life on his own terms. It made him a star. For the people who loved him most, it also made him incredibly difficult to live with. Again and again, in music and in life, Miles broke with convention – and when he thought his work came to represent a new convention, he changed it again. Miles’s bold disregard for tradition, his clarity of vision, his relentless drive, and constant thirst for new experiences made him an inspiring collaborator to fellow musicians and a cultural icon to generations of listeners. It made him an innovator in music – from bebop to “cool jazz”, modern quintets, orchestral music, jazz fusion, rock ’n’ roll, and even hip-hop.⠀
⠀
Featuring never-before-seen archival footage, studio outtakes, and rare photos, Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool tells the story of a truly singular talent and unpacks the man behind the horn.⠀

SUZI Q is the definitive, unexpurgated story of the girl from Detroit City who redefined the role and image of women in rock ’n’ roll when she broke through around the world in 1973.⠀
⠀
Watch it #TriskelCinema on Tues 15 Oct at 8.45pm⠀
⠀
SUZI Q positions Suzi as the trailblazer and inspiration for a generation of women who were to follow after her in the next decade; and reminds contemporary audiences of her pioneering influence, white-hot talent and string of incandescent rock hits, like CAN THE CAN, 48 CRASH and DAYTONA DEMON (to name but a few), that were the vehicle for her explosion of gender stereotypes in rock n roll, rewriting the rule book for the expected image of women in rock music and reaching millions of people worldwide in the process.⠀
⠀
SUZI Q explores the long simmering family tensions and sibling rivalries that result from the success of one family member over the ambitions of its other talented members.⠀
⠀
Exiled in Europe thanks to her success, while forgotten in her homeland, we return with Suzi to Detroit; and reveal the price paid for success in a deeply personal exploration of fame, ambition and resilience. Singer, songwriter, bass player, author, actress, radio presenter, poet – there is only one Suzi Q. Still on road after 53 years, still writing new material and still recording, Suzi Quatro surely is The Queen Of Rock ’n’ Roll.⠀
⠀
Now she’s coming back to claim her crown.⠀

We just 🖤 Ella Fitzgerald so we can't wait to watch Ella Fitzgerald: Just One of Those Things (NC) screening for one night only on Mon 14 Oct at 8.45pm during #TriskelCinema Music Documentary Season.⠀
⠀
Ella Fitzgerald was a 15-year-old street kid when she won a talent contest in 1934 at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. Within months she was a star. Ella Fitzgerald: Just One of Those Things follows her extraordinary journey over six decades as her sublime voice transforms the tragedies of her own life and the troubles of her times into joy.⠀
⠀
The film uses never-before-seen images and unheard interviews to bring Ella Fitzgerald to life and to tell the story of her music – a black woman who makes her career in the face of horrifying racism.⠀
⠀
Here is an Ella the world never knew – tough, thoughtful, funny, a dazzling musical innovator. The film also uncovers Ella’s commitment to the battle for Civil Rights; and it explores the conflicts that always haunted this intensely private woman: the struggle to reconcile her hunger for adoring audiences with her longing for a domestic life with her husband and son. At a time when she was the biggest singing star in the world, her pianist and friend Oscar Peterson said Ella was “the loneliest woman in the world”. But as Jamie Cullum says “her music is one of the reasons it’s worth being on this planet”.⠀
⠀
Featuring interviews with: Tony Bennett, Jamie Cullum, Laura Mvula, Johnny Mathis, Smokey Robinson, Cleo Laine, Andre Previn, Norma Miller, Patti Austin, Izsak Perlman, Margo Jefferson, Will Friedwald and a rare interview with Ella’s son, Ray Brown Jr.⠀

Three great films showing #TriskelCinema until Thursday! ***Good Posture, starring Emily Mortimer & Grace van Patten is ‘an understated indie that suggests Well could easily be the next Gerwig or Baumbach’ (a great quote that’s also v true!) ***Best Before Death follows #artist Bill Drummond on two years of his 12-year World Tour (he’s estimated he’ll die a year after the tour ends 😳) ***The Camino Voyage is back for a 6th time and still hugely popular (not surprisingly - it’s about endurance and friendship and travel and music) #purecork
