The collaboration between the Italian Cultural Institute and the TU Dublin Conservatoire, inaugurated last 6 June with the highly acclaimed concert of pianist Leonora Armellini in Dublin, continues in autumn 2024 with a series of four new unmissable concerts in the fabulous new concert hall of the TU Dublin East Quad.
On 24 September, at 18: 30, we are delighted to host the Baroque Trio ‘Il Rossignolo’ consisting of Martino Noferi (flute a becco/oboe), Marica Testi (transverse flute) and Ottaviano Tenerani (harpsichord). Together with Rachel Talbot they will perform an exceptional programme of music from Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Sammartini, Lotti, Albinoni – focusing on the noble form of the Cantata and Trio Sonata – in search of the sounds and atmospheres that delighted European travellers during the Grand Tour in Italy in the 17th and 18th centuries. An event of international calibre not to be missed!

BIO
IL ROSSIGNOLO: Esteemed by international critics as ‘one of the Italian excellencies in the field of early music’ for its interpretative verve ‘combining an extraordinary and inspired vitality with philological rigour’, Il Rossignolo is a group specialised in the study and performance of early music on historical instruments. The first fruit of their collaboration with Sony Classical International was the recording of Germanico, a work rediscovered by the group and attributed to Georg Friedrich Händel. The disc was reviewed by newspapers and specialist magazines as a ‘planetary success’ and won awards in France, Great Britain, Germany and Italy. The following disc – Telemann Virtuoso – was reviewed as ‘outstanding’ by various specialist publications such as Fanfare (USA) and Musica (ITA) and included among the best 25 discs of the year by Artribune.
Rachel Talbot is the Head of the Vocal, Opera, and Drama department at TUD, where she is also Assistant Lecturer. As a soprano soloist, she has performed in oratorios and with chamber ensembles. She has been a member of Chamber Choir Ireland and other prestigious choirs, and served as vocal tutor to the choristers of St Patrick’s Cathedral Dublin for thirteen years.
