West Ocean String Quartet - Reel Beatrice

The West Ocean String Quartet - Seamus McGuire and Niamh Crowley on violins, Ken Rice on viola and Neil Martin on cello - formed in 1999 with the intention of exploring and celebrating music both traditional and newly-composed. Their repertoire is eclectic and unique and they have gained a reputation for breaking down the walls between traditional and classical music.

The quartet has performed to critical acclaim throughout Ireland, including sell-out performances in Dublin's National Concert Hall and Belfast's Waterfront Hall, and has collaborated on stage and in the studio with many leading musicians.

Thank You so much for posting this touching video. I find it "formidable" that a fiddle tune that originated in rural Quebec, by a man who probably didn't know much about music theory....find itself in such an incredible musical performance. Touching really!

Thank You so much! Merci beaucoup!
