Ulster Orchestra Summer Series
The Ulster Orchestra performs music recorded in the Ulster Hall, Belfast, as part of the 2009 成人快手 Summer Concert series. The 2009 themes include French connections, Irish pianists and Northern Ireland's composers.
The programme includes Ibert's Divertissement, which began life as music for a revival of Eugene, Labiche's farce about a bridegroom trying to get to the church on time, and Stravinsky's Pulcinella, his ballet based on music attributed to Pergolesi.
Young Belfast pianist Michael McHale performs Franck's virtuosic Symphonic Variations and there is the world premiere performance of Belfast-born composer Ian White's new work, Strata - a 成人快手 Radio 3 commission inspired by the Mourne Mountains in County Down and the Giant's Causeway in County Antrim, as well as by the history revealed through a visit to the Museu Historia de la Ciutad in Barcelona.
