A UL Orchestra 2012
THE expanding University of Limerick Orchestra (ULO) has first rehearsal this semester on Tuesday 16 in the ICO building in Plassey. Be there for 7.30pm, advises manager Peter Hanley, who urges hesitant would-be members to hesitate no more (www.ulorchestra.org).
โ€œOur Christmas concert is at 8pm on Saturday December 6 in University Concert Hall, so even if you canโ€™t join our orchestra, please save the date and come along to hear some great music. We will be performing Dvorakโ€™s โ€˜New World Symphonyโ€™, โ€˜Simple Giftsโ€™ by Copland and a commissioned piece in collaboration with Mary Immaculate College which celebrates Limerick City of Culture. Itโ€™s called โ€˜Luimneach Abรบโ€™.”
Music by the cinema scoring John Williams also.
