Inspired by the vibrant musical life of Soho, jazz trumpeter, composer and arranger Guy Barker brings his cinematic flair to Soho Symphony - a piece shaped by the places, people, and ghosts of the storied London district.
An Associate Artist with the RTÉ CO, Barker is renowned for his dynamic playing and orchestration, having collaborated with legends such as Sting, Elvis Costello, Frank Sinatra, Quincy Jones and Van Morrison.
At the heart of Soho Symphony is a short story by Robert Ryan (Underdogs, Early One Morning, Dead Man’s Land), loosely inspired by Ulysses. It follows a young man who, after missing a date, spends 24 hours wandering Soho’s streets, in an odyssey portrayed through frantic, melancholic, and offbeat musical themes.
Tickets €15, €28.50, €42.50
