Harry Potter is perhaps one of the most beloved film series in history, the magical music composed by Academy Award Winner John Williams is just one of the scores to be featured in this enchanting evening featuring the music from the films of Limerick’s favourite son, Richard Harris.

Voted the World’s Favourite Orchestra in 2015 and under the baton of Conductor David Brophy, the RTÉ Concert Orchestra is a world-class ensemble delivering an eclectic mix of multi-genre orchestral entertainment. Since its establishment in 1948, the orchestra has taken part in a diverse catalogue of performances including emotive occasions such as Limerick native Bill Whelan’s Riverdance.
