Camerata Ireland was founded in 1999 by internationally renowned pianist Barry Douglas with the aim of bringing together the finest musicians from Ireland and Northern Ireland to perform at home and abroad. Since its formation, Camerata has toured the world to great critical acclaim, performing in North and South America, China, France, Spain, Italy, Germany and Poland. At home, the orchestra hosts the Clandeboye Festival each year in Co. Down, where it is joined by international soloists for a week of extraordinary music making in the historic surroundings of the Clandeboye Estate, Co. Down.

Camerata Ireland is delighted to be returning to the National Concert Hall for this programme of much loved music featuring Mendelssohn’s ‘Hebrides’ Overture and Mozart’s 40th Symphony, with Barry Douglas as director and soloist for Beethoven’s majestic ‘Emperor’ Concerto. Camerata Ireland is grateful to its principal funders the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, and to its sponsors Randox Ltd. for supporting this concert.
