Ulster Orchestra - 19 September 2008, Waterfront Hall

Ulster orchestra unveils new season's performances

The Ulster Orchestra has launched its latest seasonal programme, with a line-up that promises to delight both local and international music lovers.

Scheduled to open on September 19th at Belfast's Waterfront Hall, the season will showcase some of Northern Ireland's most talented young musicians, composers and conductors.

This season is set to be eventful for the Ulster Orchestra as it relocates to one of Belfast's prime venues.

Welcoming the orchestra's upcoming move to the Ulster Hall in March next year, principal conductor Kenneth Montgomery said: "It opens up whole new areas, working ever more closely with Belfast City Council to provide access to the Hall, developing schools concerts and lunchtime concerts, and supporting the city's regeneration and cultural tourism agendas. It will be an exciting period."

Roisin McDonough, chief executive of the Arts Council, added: "We look forward to a restored Ulster Hall which will enhance audience experience as well as becoming the administrative base for the Orchestra."

The orchestra is also set to perform at the Belfast Festival at Queen's this autumn.ADNFCR-1390-ID-18630494-ADNFCR
