Unsuk Chin  Šu - for Sheng and Orchestra
Kevin Volans: Gol Na mBan San Ár - for Uilleann Pipes and Orchestra (world premiere)

In this truly continent-crossing concert, two celebrated contemporary composers Unsuk Chin (South Korea) and Kevin Volans (Ireland and South Africa) - have each created new works to shine a light on the virtuosity of two extraordinary musicians with whom they have both worked extremely closely.

Wu Wei (China) and David Power (Ireland) are masters of two of the world’s most ancient instruments - the former the Chinese Sheng, and the latter Ireland’s very own Uilleann Pipes - and they bring this tradition and expertise to weave into two radical scores for soloist and orchestra.

The RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra perform Unsuk Chin’s Šu - for Sheng and Orchestra, and the world premiere of Kevin Volans’ Gol Na mBan San Ár - for Uilleann Pipes and Orchestra.
