About this event

This final RTÉ Concert Orchestra 2024 Summer Lunchtime concert promises a soul-stirring delight, with a programme including the moving Overture by Bacewicz, Borodin’s symphonic poem In the Steppes of Central Asia, and concert pieces from Mendelssohn.

One of the most celebrated figures of the early Romantic Period, Mendelssohn is also included in the programme; the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, with woodwind players Michael Seaver and Macdara Ó Seireadáin, play delightful concert pieces No. 1 and No. 2 on clarinet and basset horn.

Excerpts from Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances, influenced by styles and forms from Bohemia, will also be performed, showcasing their dazzling intensity and folk-dance elegance.
