Music on the Move

The Hugh Lane Gallery's free Sundays at Noon series is decamping to the lofty environs of City Hall for the next couple of months - a beautiful if underused building with elegant proportions, a soaring dome and an echoing acoustic that may not suit every chamber ensemble. Judge for yourself next Sun 1 March when Sextets in the City features Brahms' String Sextet No 2 in G and Tchaikovsky's Adagio from 'Souvenir de Florence'. On Sun 15 you can hear Purcell, Handel and Couperin performed by soprano Lenneke Ruiten with Sarah Groser on bass viol and Malcolm Proud on harpsichord, and on Sun 29 the Vienna Mozart Trio play piano trios by Mozart and Dvorak.
