Egg Fights at the Hugh Lane
The free Sundays at Noon concert series may have temporarily decamped to City Hall, but it's well worth paying a visit to the Hugh Lane Gallery to see why: a big installation featuring two elegantly clad headless mannequins taking aim at each other through a wall of eggs. The work of Turner Prize nominee Yinka Shonibare, it was inspired by Gulliver's Travels and it's called, not surprisingly, Egg Fight. Meanwhile over at City Hall, on Easter Sunday there's a complete performance of Ian Wilson's solo piano cycle Stations, a new work inspired by the Stations of the Cross. It features upcoming young British pianist Matthew Schellhorn, a regular collaborator with Wilson. On Sun 19 Trio Quattro present Handel's Wardrobe as part of the Dublin Handel Festival, and on Sun 25 the Engegard Quartet play string quartets by Beethoven and Bartok.
