Conductor Gavin Maloney says ‘I wanted dynamism and beauty to be at the heart of the programme, as we face January anew. Mozart’s ‘Haffner’ symphony is immensely powerful and succinct. Wagner’s opera, Tannhäuser, is ostensibly about a legendary singing festival. So, it’s fitting that we showcase some of Ireland’s finest choristers in Elgar’s exquisite wintertime ode The Snow.’
