Soprano Celine Byrne follows up her RTÉ Lyric FM CD (For Eternity) with a Christmas Gala Concert tonight. She is joined by the RTÉ NSO and the programme will include arias from the CD as well as seasonal favourites.
Two concerts stand out a little from the Christmas programmes that dominate concert life at this time of year. On Monday, the Dublin String Quartet offers a programme of works by members of the Irish Composers Collective. And on Tuesday, clarinettist Paul Roe is joined by storyteller Nuala Hayes for an Irish-language performance of Tom Johnston's witty
Bedtime Stories, and three pieces by Derry composer Christopher Norby. Norby's Stain Boy, Voodoo Girl and
The Girl Who Turned into a Bedset texts by film director Tim Burton from his book,
The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy Other Stories.
