More Than Mozart - music on your doorstep as Ulster Orchestra returns to Coleraine
After a sell-out concert last year, the Ulster Orchestra is looking forward to returning to Coleraine for one night only on Thursday, November 14.
In the company of conductor and soloist Michael Collins, as he brings his musicality and mastery of both the clarinet and the conductor’s podium to Coleraine, the concert wil take place in the Diamond at Ulster University.
Concerts outside Belfast form an important part of the Orchestra’s activity, providing a fantastic opportunity for audiences across Northern Ireland to experience the magic of a full, live orchestra.
Join the Ulster Orchestra for a fantastic evening as Michael Collins exhibits his virtuosic performance skills in lesser-known gems for the clarinet, as well as leading the orchestra with his characteristic flair as a conductor. More Than Mozart opens with Grażyna Bacewicz’s vibrant, driving Concerto for String Orchestra, before Michael performs Crusell’s Second Clarinet Concerto, a piece full of exuberance and lyrical grace and Busoni’s Concertino, a virtuosic 20th century tour-de-force written in the style of Mozart.
And it’s Mozart, with whom Michael has a special affinity, who closes the concert; the exhilarating pinnacle of all his symphonic writing, Symphony No. 41 Jupiter.
So don’t miss out on the exciting return to Coleraine on Thursday, November 14 at 7.30pm and spend an evening with the Ulster Orchestra and Michael Collins. A wonderful night, not to be missed – and early booking is advisable.
Tickets for the concert cost £19 (£8 for under 26s) and are available online at www.riversidetheatre.org.uk or by calling 028 70 123 123.
