We’ve been making music in Limerick for 30 years. This night celebrates every note of that journey.
The evening begins with sparkle and play - Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin’s (Must Be More) Crispy - before a landmark moment: we take the stage alongside the young musicians of ICO Youth in a powerful side-by-side performance. Together, we'll be bringing to life a selection of vibrant works by Piazzolla, Sam Perkin, Henning Kraggerud and more.
Then, let yourself be carried by the rich, sweeping drama of Atterberg’s Suite No. 3, before Grieg’s stormy, lyrical String Quartet brings the night to a fiery close.
A celebration of place, of people, and of the music that brings us together.
