BOOK your seat at Limerick’s Milk Market for Irish Chamber Orchestra’s first formal concert at this outdoor venue. It takes place on Sunday July 17 at the afternoon slot of 3pm, making for an ideal family venture for the weekend.
The Irish Chamber Orchestra will take to the road again for four days this July to perform in venues in Kilkenny (Castalia Hall, Callan) on Thursday 14, Clare (St Senan’s Church, Kilkee) on Friday 15 and Mayo (Holy Trinity Church, Westport) on Saturday 16, to make its last string sing back at Milk Market on Sunday 17.
Distinguished violinist Bradley Creswick directs the orchestra in Summer Serenade, a programme featuring a host of orchestral classics and a world première alongside some magical Magyar melodies. Creswick is leader of the Northern Sinfonia and the London Philharmonia. He guest-leads a wide range of orchestras throughout Europe. July 17 is also approaching the ten year anniversary of the Ground Zero tipping point in America.
The touring programme will stage ‘Anything Can Happen’, a world premier of new Irish work by Micháel O Súilleabháin of the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance.
The composition “takes as its working title the Seamus Heaney response to 9/ 11 through the poem ‘Anything Can Happen’. This newly commissioned work by the Irish Chamber Orchestra commemorates the tenth anniversary of the annihilation of New York’s Twin Towers,” explains the orchestra’s PRO, Charlotte Eglington.
3pm downtown on a July Sunday will shed more light.
