CWB.ie in association with the Gaelic Grounds is delighted to announce National Geographic’s incredible spectacle Symphony for our World will have its European premiere in the Gaelic Grounds, Limerick on Saturday 29th September 2018! This once-in-a-lifetime show was a sell-out success throughout the US, leaving audiences spellbound in its wake, and for one night only it is coming to Ireland, to the Treaty City, for its European début!

Symphony for Our World combines awe-inspiring National Geographic natural history footage perfectly synchronised with an original symphony, performed live on stage by the National Geographic Symphony Orchestra, led by Irish Composer Kenneth Rice. The impressive 80-piece orchestra will perform the symphony and theme created by Emmy- and BAFTA-nominated Austin Fray and Andrew Christie of Bleedin Finger Music (The Hobbit, Startrek Beyond) with theLimerick Chamber Choir to an audience seated in the Mackey Stand.

Irish audiences will be treated to a 90-minute immersive symphonic experience, a feast for the eyes, for the ears and for the heart! Presented on two of the largest High Definition screens in Europe, the groundbreaking imagery is made up of 130 years of beloved National Geographic history of the world’s most incredible wildlife spectacles. From ice diving foxes in Canada, to hammerhead sharks maneuvering their way through the Indian Ocean, the footage captures a world that few will ever see in real life.

Driven by a five-part composition, Symphony for Our World pairs artistry with science as it brings viewers from the depths of the sea, up to the coastlines, onto land, through mountains and into the sky. Each environment will be accompanied by a different orchestral movement, resulting in a powerful musical tribute to the beauty and wonders of our wild world.
