Emotions are high in a compelling concert with National Symphony Orchestra Ireland featuring Celine Byrne in Richard Strauss’s gorgeous and poignant Four Last Songs.
Also presenting the Irish premiere of Jennifer Higdon’s blue cathedral, a moving memorial tribute to her brother, with the ‘startling conducting talent’ (Philadelphia Enquirer) of Lio Kuokman making a welcome return.
The rich, lustrous voice and ‘fine lyrical quality’ (Opera) of Celine Byrne seems tailor-made for Strauss’s radiant masterpiece, an intimate reflection on life and gentle anticipation of death.
Pre-concert talk in Kevin Barry Recital Room, 6.15pm;
Professor Kathleen Tynan, RIAM Head of Vocal Studies and Opera, will share her insights of Strauss' Four Last Songs.
