From Lumbye’s playful Copenhagen Steam Railway Galop to the atmospheric beauty of Sibelius’ The Swan of Tuonela, this concert is rich in contrast and colour. Mezzo-soprano Sharon Carty will perform Grieg’s heartfelt Six German Songs, Op. 48, while Ben Marshall adds depth on cor anglais. Liz Nolan presents a showcase of unabridged musical masterworks, featuring live recordings of Irish and international performers, plus selections from the latest CD releases.
