UCD Symphony Orchestra: A Night at the Movies IV
The UCD Symphony Orchestra celebrates its twentieth anniversary season with the fourth in its hugely successful series of Night at the Movies concerts, coming to the NCH for the first time. The programme features classics and original music from The Right Stuff, Excalibur, The Great Dictator, Lieutenant Kijé, Battleship Potemkin, E.T. and Frozen. The orchestra is joined by UCD Ad Astra Performing Arts Scholar Winifred Massey to perform Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue that famously opens Woody Allen's 1979 film Manhattan.
