Our 60th anniversary season opens in a burst of excitement and the exuberance of
youth, under the baton of Chief Conductor Anna Handler and with a host of guest
performers. Brahms’s irrepressible Academic Festival Overture places the
emphasis firmly on the festive and we welcome 2025 Northern Ireland Young
Musician of the Year Senan Sheridan to perform Britten’s dazzling hymn to the
sun god Apollo. To close, we are joined by a host of young singers from across
Northern Ireland for Beethoven’s epic Choral Symphony; a symbol of
community, unity and most of all, sheer, untrammelled joy.
Join us at 7pm in the main auditorium of the Ulster Hall to join our Artistic Director Patrick McCarthy and our Chief Conductor Anna Handler for a pre-concert talk.
