Join players from the Ulster Orchestra, with leader Ioana Petcu-Colan for an hour of wonderful music – perfect to dispel the January cold!
Included in this programme is Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings, one of his earliest compositions and full of the sunny optimism and cheerful exuberance of youth. The Octet has remained a favourite of string players and audiences alike and Mendelssohn himself declared it to be ‘my favourite of all my compositions’.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to hear top classical musicians live and up close, this concert makes the perfect introduction, while regular orchestra attenders won’t want to miss the opportunity to hear your favourite musicians in a more relaxed and intimate setting.
