THE ARTISTS The Testore String Quartet takes its name from Audrey Park's violin. It is a fine example of the craftsmanship of Carlo Guiseppe Testore. This particular instrument was made in Milan in 1710 and like all Testore instruments, carries the sign of the eagle. Since their first public performance in March 1975, the quartet have performed for schools and music societies throughout the country. They have made two programmes for BBCtv, and have been engaged to give four recitals at the forthcoming Wexford Festival. Audrey Park was born in Ayrshire Scotland. She and her husband, Archie Collins, who comes from Co. Armagh, have been a well-known musical team in Ireland for some time. Audrey joined the RTE Symphony Orchestra in 1953, her husband joining in 1954. In 1966 they both became members of the RTE String Quartet for five years. Audrey was then made sub-leader of the BBC Northern Ireland Orchestra in 1971. At present she is leader of the RTE Light Orchestra, and her husband is a member of the same Orchestra. Clodagh Mc Swiney joined the RTE Symphony Orchestra in 1962 where she was a member for five years. In 1967 she joined the Utrecht Symphony Orchestra in Holland, and later the Danish Radio Orchestra.
