Greystones Orchestra will perform at Whale
AS THE COLD WINTER evenings continue, there’s warmth, joy and beautiful music to be found at Greystones Orchestra’s debut concert at The Whale. ‘A Midwinter’s Night Dream’ will take place on Saturday, January 27, at 8 p.m.
With their summer concert having once again proven to be a sell-out, this much-loved local institution have put together a diverse and sumptuous programme to brighten up even the darkest winter evening in Greystones.
From Haydn’s Symphony 88 to Fauré’s Sicilienne, this is a celebration of music that will appeal to all audiences.
Savour the deep-hued resonance of the clarinet as local musician Robert Clarke performs a selection from Finzi’s Five Bagatelles, with chamber orchestra. Listen spellbound as special guest soprano Katy Kelly joins the orchestra to sing Mozart. A regular performer at The National Concert Hall in Dublin, Katy will perform arias from The Marriage Of Figaro, The Magic Flute and beyond.
So, a night not to be missed, as Greystones Orchestra performs for the very first time in a venue that might as well have been built for them.
The musicians rehearse each Monday evening at St Patrick’s school. The orchestra was established in 1989 by a small group of musicians whose aim was to stimulate interest in music and encourage musicians of all standards.
