Our 60th anniversary season opens in a burst of excitement and the exuberance of youth, under the baton of Chief Conductor Anna Handler and with a host of guest performers.
Brahms’s irrepressible Academic Festival Overture places the emphasis firmly on the festive and we welcome 2025 Northern Ireland Young Musician of the Year Senan Sheridan to perform Britten’s dazzling hymn to the sun god Apollo. To close, we are joined by a host of young singers from across Northern Ireland for Beethoven’s epic Choral Symphony; a symbol of community, unity and most of all, sheer, untrammelled joy.
