Featuring Chris Vaughn – Clarinet,

Dan Kerlee – Bassoon,

The featured new piece is the premiere of ‘Remembering an Irish Mam’ by orchestra member and local composer Ray Heraty–a loving reminiscence for large orchestra.

Also on the concert, ‘Euterpe’ by the ground-breaking American composer George Chadwick and ‘In the South’ by British composer Edward Elgar, both ‘the latest thing’ written around the turn of the last century.
