A founding member of the Argento Chamber Ensemble, McGonnell’s characterful sound and passion for new music has led to collaborations with leading composers such as Esa-Pekka Salonen, Elliott Carter, Oliver Knussen and Tristan Murail. She has also performed as a soloist with many orchestras, including the Ulster Orchestra, the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland and the Knights Chamber Orchestra based in New York. For this tour McGonnell is in cahoots with rising contemporary chamber stars the Fidelio Trio, described by the International Record Review as ‘utterly bewitching’. |
