This October, Irish Chamber Orchestra (ICO) turns up the heat with two unmissable musical experiences, one infused with Nordic passion, the other a celebration of Limerick’s cultural heartbeat.
Step into a world of searing romance, bold colours, and fierce storytelling as newly appointed Artistic Partner Henning Kraggerud brings his Nordic spirit to the fore.
Feel the taut energy of Grażyna Bacewicz’s String Quartet, as you sink into the velvety sweep of Atterberg’s Suite No. 3, and be thrilled by the folk-fuelled blaze of Grieg’s String Quartet in G minor. From restless energy to rich lyricism to folk inspired fire, catch ICO on one unmissable journey on Thursday 16 October at Whyte Recital Hall, RIAM and on Friday 17 October at The Model, Sligo (Con Brio Sligo Music Association).
On Saturday 18 October at University Concert Hall Limerick, ICO celebrates 30 Years in Limerick city with a festival-style anniversary concert bursting with energy and surprises. Three decades, one city and endless music, this evening celebrates playfulness, lyricism, and fiery passion.
Micheál Ó Súilleabháin’s Must Be More Crispy brims with rhythmic wit, featuring Mel Mercier Percussion and Niall Vallely Concertina. ICO Youth joins forces with the orchestra and Henning Kraggerud for the first time, performing Henning’s own charming Little Suite in Old Style, as well as Piazzolla’s hauntingly beautiful Oblivion alongside Sam Perkin’s dazzling Inspirit. The night crescendos with ICO’s rendition of Atterberg’s Suite No. 3 and a grand, orchestral blaze of Grieg’s String Quartet in G minor, a storm of Nordic fire to light up Limerick’s skyline.
Join Irish Chamber Orchestra for two sensational October offerings.
