The Ulster Orchestra’s year of celebration reaches a joyous climax in the penultimate week of the season with this noisy, spectacular and ultimately uplifting concert. Rafael Payare leads the Orchestra in two brilliant works by a pair of Russian masters. And then, arguably the greatest of them all: Ludwig van Beethoven and what promises to be an unforgettable performance of the never-bettered Ninth – the Choral Symphony. For this occasion the Orchestra will be joined, as they have been so many times over the last fifty seasons, by the wonderful Belfast Philharmonic Choir.
