Clarinet and conducting skills as the Ulster Orchestra showcases More Than Mozart at the Ulster Hall, Belfast on 15 November 2024!
Bacewicz Concerto for Strings
Crusell Clarinet Concerto No.2
Busoni Concertino for Clarinet and Small Orchestra
Mozart Symphony No.41, Jupiter
MICHAEL COLLINS CONDUCTOR/CLARINET
This concert opens with Grażyana Bacewicz’s, vibrant, driving Concerto for String Orchestra, before Michael performs Crusell’s Second Clarinet Concerto, full of exuberance and lyrical grace and Busoni’s Concertino, a virtuosic 20th century tour-de-force written in the style of Mozart.
"An evening in the company of Michael Collins is one well-spent, as he brings his deeply-held musicality and mastery of both the clarinet and the conductor’s podium to the Ulster Hall."
And it’s Mozart, with whom Michael has a special affinity, that closes the concert; the exhilarating pinnacle of all his symphonic writing, Symphony No.41.
The Ulster Orchestra is grateful to the Sirens Fund for supporting the performance of Bacwicz’s Concerto for Strings
