Colour and atmosphere aplenty and music to escape with. Copland’s An Outdoor Overture transports us to the American frontier, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, courtesy of 2023 Irish Freemason’s Young Musician of the Year Rowel Friers, to the exhilaration of the Big Apple, Márquez’s Danzón to sultry Mexico via Cuba. Ravel’s haunting Pavane pour une infante défunte provides pause for breath and reflection.
