An enchanting night where music and storytelling merge, Ulster Orchestra presents 'Symphonic Storytellers' at the Ulster Hall, Belfast on 04 October 2024!
Lutosławski Little Suite for Orchestra
Shostakovich Concerto No.1 for Piano, Trumpet and Strings
Rimsky-Korsakov Scheherazade
ANNA SUŁKOWSKA-MIGOŃ CONDUCTOR
BARRY DOUGLAS PIANO
NIALL KEATLEY TRUMPET
We open with Lutosławski’s Little Suite, with its driving energy inspired by Polish folk songs, and close the concert with a virtuosic violin taking the narrator’s role in Rimsky-Korsakov’s series of hedonistic musical adventures, Scheherazade.
"A heady evening awaits, rich with storytelling, comedy and drama."
A characterful duo is required to give life to all the humour of Shostakovich’s Concerto No.1 for Piano, Trumpet and Strings – the one and only Barry Douglas is joined by trumpet player Niall Keatley for this performance.
