If you think you have a busy week ahead, spare a thought for trombonist Christian Lindberg, who will be performing at the National Concert Hall next Friday.

Lindberg will appear with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra as a soloist, conductor, narrator, singer and, in the case of one work on the programme, Helikon Wasp, he is even the composer.

After this, the rest of the programme, including Tchaikovsky's stormy Fifth Symphony and Sibelius's Karelia Suite, will surely feel like a walk in the park for the Swedish virtuoso.

Tickets from €12. Friday October 24th, 8pm. To book tickets, call 01-4170000 or visit nch.ie. Rachel Collins
