Evelyn Grant and the National Youth Orchestra of Ireland Ensemble, 7th and 8th July 2014, Mount Juliet

‘An Evening of Music from the Silver Screen’ – Join us in the beautiful surroundings of Mount Juliet on the 6^th & 7^th of July for a performance of some of the greatest music from the movies, by a talented ensemble of musicians from the National Youth Orchestra of Ireland. The concert is conducted and presented by RTE lyric fm’s Evelyn Grant. An evening of nostalgia, romance, and excitement as the orchestra weaves its magic on tunes from Charlie Chaplin, to Ennio Morricone and John Williams, not forgetting some of the wonderful pieces from the classical music repertoire which have been used so effectively on film. The captivating slow movement of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto (Out of Africa) and the haunting theme from Schindler’s List will feature the orchestra’s talented soloists, while the brass and percussion will revel in the thrilling scores from Star Wars and Superman. See below Evelyn Grant, Carol-Anne McKenna and soprano Molly Lynch, with members of the National Youth Orchestra after last year’s performance ‘A Viennese Evening with a Twist’.
