UCD Symphony Orchestra: Russian Festival
Ten years on from the orchestra’s first sell-out performance at the National Concert Hall, the UCD Symphony Orchestra returns with a thrilling festival of music from Russia, once again combining forces with the UCD Philharmonic Choir.
The 200–plus student musicians shall deliver an unforgettable evening of high-octane favourites from the opera, ballet and concert hall stages. Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2 provides a solo platform for UCD Ad Astra Music Scholar Dylan Browne, making his concerto debut with the orchestra.
