Approved

An annual fixture in Northern Ireland’s musical calendar, BBC Radio 3 is delighted to present 4 Summer Invitation Concerts with the Ulster Orchestra. Continuing a tradition which began in 1985, all of the concerts will take place in the Victorian splendour of the Ulster Hall, encompassing rarely heard works, music by women composers and symphonic classics.

The Season will also shine the spotlight on top talent: most notably the Belfast pianist Michael McHale in his 40th birthday year and BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, the Colombian cellist Santiago Cañón-Valencia. Conductor Angus Webster also returns, following his debut with the Orchestra last Summer, along with the Orchestra’s Honorary Principal Guest Conductor, Jac van Steen.

This, the last of the 4 programmes, presents two optimistic works written for specific occasions. Judith Weir, the Master of the King’s Music, wrote her New Every Morning for the New Edinburgh Orchestra – a commission to mark the passing of one of their most valued members, which premiered in 2022. The Dvořák which follows – his Symphony No.8 – was written to mark his election to the Bohemian Academy of Science, Literature and Arts.
