Ulster Orchestra presents a night of musical magic with their show 'Soaring Spirits' at the Ulster Hall, Belfast on 01 November 2024!
Saint-Saëns Overture: Phaeton
Elgar Cello Concerto
Sibelius Symphony No.5
CHLOÉ VAN SOETERSTÈDE CONDUCTOR
NADEGE ROCHAT CELLO
Elgar’s Cello Concerto is a wistful, beautiful piece that falls towards the end of his composing career, when he wondered if he had any musical relevance, and there’s a sense of solitude – even loneliness – that haunts this work.
"One of the great masterworks."
Elsewhere, the Ulster Orchestra brass take to the skies, first in the sun chariot of the Greek God Helios in Saint-Saëns’s Phaeton Overture and then as a flock of whooper swans in that famous finale of Sibelius’s triumphant Fifth Symphony.
This concert takes place in partnership with Belfast International Arts Festival.
