Ulster Orchestra
The Ulster Orchestra is joined by a stellar line-up of soloists for Stravinsky's witty Pulcinella and a performance of Schubert's majestic Symphony No. 9, The Great.
The Ulster Orchestra presents a concert which brings together two powerful acts of musical reimagining.
Stravinsky’s Pulcinella reshapes Pergolesi's music through a modern lens, sparkling with wit, elegance, and neoclassical charm.
And after the interval, Schubert’s Symphony No. 9, The Great, expands Classical symphonic writing into something boldly new: a triumphant celebration of symphonic breadth and lyrical generosity.
