National Symphony Orchestra Ireland returns to the National Opera House with two classic works celebrating the spirit of adventure and discovery: Shaun Davey’s epic 'The Brendan Voyage' and Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony.
Shaun Davey 'The Brendan Voyage'
Dvořák Symphony No. 9, ‘From the New World’
National Symphony Orchestra Ireland and the acclaimed Irish conductor David Brophy, now chief conductor with WDR Funkhausorchester, Cologne, leads these thrilling musical jouneys with the extraordinary uilleann piper Mark Redmond joining as soloist.
Best known for its haunting ‘Largo’, the soundtrack to countless film soundtracks and television adverts, Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony boasts a parade of memorable melodies. A celebration of the folk music and Negro spirituals he discovered in America, its sirenic echoes of the traditions Dvořák left behind in his native Bohemia combine in one of the great symphonic showpieces.
