Gatsby 100, nights of ELO, Oscars, Bowie and Beatles, Radiohead Jazz, John O'Conor & more RT Concert Orchestra February to April

16/01/2025

One hundred years to the day from the publication of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, the RT Concert Orchestra and Guy Barker mark the occasion with a night of Jazz Age classics (10 April, NCH). There's a Beatles night featuring Mark McGann (3 April, The Helix) and a David Bowie night featuring members of Bowie's own band (2 March, 3Arena), an Oscars night (26 February, NCH) and a celebration of Jeff Lynne's ELO (13 March, NCH).

John O'Conor joins the RT CO for the Beethoven piano concerto that launched his international career back in 1973 (6 March, NCH) and having given the Irish premiere of Radiohead, A Jazz Symphony in 2023, the RT CO brings back this incredible reimagining of Radiohead as arranged for jazz soloists and orchestra (20 March, NCH).

Full information below. Also below please see an amended listing for our 25 January concert at the NCH. Conductor Teresa Riveiro B hm is indisposed and has had to withdraw. Ukrainian conductor Margaryta Grynyvetska will conduct the programme, in what will be her Irish debut.

Tchaikovsky and Bruch

Saturday 25 January, 8pm, National Concert Hall

RT Concert Orchestra

Margaryta Grynyvetska conductor

Rosanne Philippens violin

Brahms Tragic Overture

Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1

Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6 Path tique'

An evening of famous romantic classics with two exciting young artists joining the RT Concert Orchestra for the first time: Ukrainian conductor Margaryta Grynyvetska, who made her debut as a conductor at the age of 15 and is tonight making her Irish debut, and Dutch star violinist Rosanne Philippens.

Philippens has said: My aim in a concert hall (or in any other place where music is heard), is to arouse feelings of togetherness. This is what makes music so essential: that wordless power of expression that brings people together.'

The concert begins with Brahms' powerful and dramatic Tragic Overture, and ends with Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6, one of the most profoundly emotional of all symphonies. First performed under the composer himself just nine days before his death, he called the Path tique' the best thing I ever composed or shall compose'.

Bruch's first violin concerto became so famous that it overshadowed the two he wrote after, to his own immense frustration. He wrote about fending off approaches from violinists wanting to play it: I have now become rude; and have told them: I cannot listen to this concerto any more - did I perhaps write just this one? Go away and once and for all play the other concertos, which are just as good, if not better.' However good the others are, nothing has ever replaced Bruch's first in audiences' affections, and that's the one with which Rosanne Philippens makes her RT Concert Orchestra debut.
