University of Limerick Orchestra Brings the Magic of The Snowman to the University Concert Hall This Christmas

A magical evening of festive music, featuring a live orchestral screening of The Snowman, the Laurel Hill Coláiste Choir, and music by Irish composer John O'Connor.

Under the baton of conductor Dr Michael Dooley, the orchestra will present a spectacular evening of festive and classical favourites, with the highlight being a special screening of Raymond Briggs' beloved animated classic The Snowman, accompanied by a live performance of Howard Blake's enchanting orchestral score.
Audiences of all ages will have the opportunity to experience this timeless Christmas story in a truly magical setting, as the orchestra brings the film's unforgettable music to life, including the much-loved Walking in the Air.
The concert will also feature a wonderful selection of seasonal and classical music, including Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty Suite, Montagues and Capulets from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, and Christmas Eve Suite.

A particular highlight of this year's programme will be Christmas Festival by Irish composer John O'Connor, celebrating Irish musical creativity and adding a distinctive homegrown contribution to the evening's festivities.

The orchestra will also be joined by the Laurel Hill Coláiste Choir, under the direction of Lorna O'Byrne. The choir's participation promises to bring an additional dimension of warmth and festive spirit to the performance, showcasing the wonderful choral talent of young musicians in Limerick.
