Musical Programme Summary:

Revel with the ICO in the opulence of the baroque court. Vivaldi’s rhythmic vivacity and harmonic clarity inspired Bach. In Vivaldi’s Concerto for 4 Violins and Cello in D-major, ICO soloists interact to great effect with the themes moving seamlessly between the instruments. It is exhilarating, with a vitality that will delight audiences. Bach’s Concerto for 2 Violins in D minor or Double Violin Concerto, is one of his most famous and best-loved works performed by Katherine Hunka and Nicola Sweeney.

Schubert’s Death and the Maiden is one of his finest works and a cornerstone of the repertoire. It is an expressive, romantic and dramatic work written in death’s shadow.

ICO’s double bass player Malachy Robinson demonstrates his compositional skills with his cinematic new work Dream of the Green Men, inspired by Purcell’s The Fairy Queen
We look forward to seeing you there!
Every good wish,

Joseph McCloskey
