The concert programme features Greig’s “Peer Gynt Suite No. 1”, from the current Junior Certificate music curriculum. This concert represents an excellent opportunity for students to hear this exciting piece performed live in advance of their exam. The orchestra will also perform Mendelsshon’s evocative “Hebrides (Overture)” and Verdi’s dramatic “La Forza Del Destino (Overture)”.

The second half of the concert celebrates the musical traditions of the island of Ireland. It includes a selection of Irish traditional dance music and Ulster Scots’ music arranged for orchestra, and features special guest musicians from the Mid Ulster Pipes and Drums.
