Symphony Club of Waterford presents Beethoven’s 4th Symphony featuring Irish Chamber Orchestra in Christchurch Cathedral with Conductor Thomas Zehetmair and Mick O’Brien on Uilleann Pipes
Masters & Myth
From fairies to Celtic mythology the tale of the mermaid Melusine inspired Mendelssohn. Experience her two worlds colliding as this fluid dreamscape transitions to stormy passion then fades to the depths of oblivion – it’s just magical.
Enjoy one of our finest pipers, Mick O’Brien in a world premiere, as he brings The Mórrigan, the great warrior-queen goddess of Celtic mythology, to life in Áine Mallon’s extraordinary new work.
Revel in Beethoven’s much-loved masterwork with its light-hearted music, full of invention and unexpected turns. This Fourth Symphony will blow you away with its lyricism, surprising shifts of mood, and good humour.
Programme:
- Mendelssohn: The Fair Melusine Op. 32
- Áine Mallon: The Morrigan
- Beethoven: Symphony No.4, Op.60, B-flat major
Unreserved seating for non Symphony Club Members, only cash accepted at the door.
