About this Event
Britten Suite on English Folk Tunes A Time There Was Op.90
Ethel Smyth Serenade in D major
Karen Ní Bhroin Conductor
From the familiar contours of folk melodies to the graceful charm of the concert hall, Benjamin Britten and Ethel Smyth showcase two contrasting approaches to musical tradition. Britten's Suite on English Folk Tunes, his final orchestral work, is a poignant and nostalgic reflection on traditional melodies, while Smyth's Serenade in D major, her first orchestral composition, shines with lush warmth, humour, raucous intensity and the quiet passion that characterises so much great British music.
The Ulster Orchestra is conducted by Karen Ní Bhroin, one of Ireland’s foremost young conductors.
This concert is part of Belfast International Arts Festival
