Ulster Orchestra On Your Doorstep

Thurs 15 Apr | 8pm | £22 | £20 (conc) | £10 (Students | Under 18)

Concert Programme: Carl Maria von Weber – Concertino for Clarinet and Orchestra | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Sinfonia Concertante for Four Winds | Ludwig van Beethoven – Symphony No. 4

The Ulster Orchestra is delighted to return to The Market Place Theatre, once again in the company of its Principal Guest Artist, clarinettist and conductor Michael Collins. Weber’s Concertino for Clarinet and Orchestra is a total showpiece for the instrument; a rollercoaster journey through rich lyricism and rapid, virtuoso runs that shoot through the piece like fireworks. Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante is an elegant and poised work featuring solo clarinet, oboe, bassoon and horn, while Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony provides a burst of musical sunshine to close. 

The Stray Gaiters

Fri 21 May | 8pm | £16

It is now more than fifty years since Neil Young first appeared on the scene, astounding everyone with his remarkable song writing and soulful singing. ‘The Stray Gaiters’, who take their name from the band of session players put together for the recording of ‘Harvest’, will take you on a trip through Young’s extensive and varied catalogue of wonderful songs, with respect and passion. They will dance with you beneath a harvest moon; they will blow you away, like a hurricane!

This event will take place in our studio theatre with an unreserved, cabaret-style seating layout.
