About this event

The Norwegian superstar Mari Samuelsen, an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, directs the RTÉ Concert Orchestra from the violin for an evening of evocative storytelling for strings.

The kaleidoscopic programme encompasses both the more familiar, Arvo Pärt’s Fratres, and a piece never before performed live, Olivia Belli’s Sapias. Another soundtrack features with Cambridge, 1963 from Jóhann Jóhannsson’s score to The Theory of Everything. Samuelsen and the RTÉ CO also perform two striking pieces more associated with the piano, Nils Frahm’s Hammers and Hania Rani’s Glass.

Mari Samuelsen is a trailblazer, a phenomenon with both traditional and newer audiences. Join her and the RTÉ CO as they create a mesmerising soundscape and bring the audience on a compelling musical journey.

Tickets €15, €20, €26.50, €32, €42.50
