Berlioz Romeo and Juliet: Love Scene
Canteloube Songs from the Auvergne
Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3 'Organ Symphony'
Helen Kearns soprano
Mark Duley organ
Pascal Rophé conductor
'The songs of the peasants very often reach the level of the purest art in feeling.' wrote Canteloube, whose enchanting songs evoke shimmering heat-hazes, wistful lullabies, love and desire. Saint-Saëns' famous 'Organ' Symphony - known to a new audience as the theme to the film Babe - is elemental, spectacular music that will leave the audience breathless in its wake.
Soundings: Culture Ireland CEO Eugene Downes, 7pm
