Introducing orchestral music to new audiences since 1948, the RTÉ Concert Orchestra has built a strong connection with the public that saw it voted the World’s Favourite Orchestra in 2015. It has performed with artists including Luciano Pavarotti, Lang Lang, Marvin Hamlisch, Lalo Schifrin and Sinéad O’Connor, its 90s dance music series with Jenny Greene won an IMRO Outstanding Achievement Award, and its recordings range from Stephen Rennicks’ score to Room to Flicker with Niall Horan. Recent concerts have included Thin Lizzy Orchestrated, The Delta Blues Project, introduced by Morgan Freeman, and a tribute to David Bowie featuring members of his own band. The orchestra’s connection with audiences, its warm vibrant performing style and its eclectic repertoire makes it the perfect match with Marty Whelan for this concert.
