BEETHOVEN 4

Presented by Irish Chamber Orchestra

From fairies to celtic mythology the tale of the mermaid Melusina inspired Mendelssohn.  Experience her two worlds colliding as this fluid dreamscape transitions to stormy passion then fades to the depths of oblivion – it’s just magical.

Enjoy one of our finest pipers, Mick O’Brienin a world premiere, as he brings the The Mórrigan, the great warrior-queen goddess of Celtic mythology, to life in Áine Mallon’s extraordinary new work.

Relish Beethoven’s much-lovedmasterwork as he steers us through distant keys with ease.  This Fourth Symphony will blow you away with its lyricism, surprising shifts of mood, and good humour. Enjoy light-hearted music, full of invention and unexpected turns.
