Belltable
After decades of friendship, Irish eighties rock icons Leslie Dowdall and Flo McSweeney are finally sharing the stage together for the very first time with their brand-new show, Natural Women. Backed by an all-star band this uplifting and soulful performance pays homage to two of music’s greatest female voices — Linda Ronstadt and Carole King.
ICO – Brothers Haydn
University Concert Hall
Carolin Widmann ignites Joseph Haydn’s Violin Concerto No. 4, her virtuosity and expressive warmth shining through every playful exchange with the orchestra. The energy continues with Michael Haydn’s Symphony MH 287, a hidden gem brimming with sparkle, humour, and youthful verve. Finally, Franz Joseph’s “Farewell” Symphony is a captivating mix of elegance, mischief, and emotional depth, with a finale that surprises and delights.
