Grieg Prelude and Rigaudon from Holberg Suite
Chausson Poème for violin and orchestra
Prokofiev Lieutenant Kijé Suite

Find yourself transported to the 18th century in pieces from Grieg’s effervescent Holberg Suite, to the heady heights of French romance with Chausson’s ‘Song of Triumphant Love’ Poème, and to snowy St. Petersburg for the colourful Suite from Prokofiev’s film score, Lieutenant Kijé, complete with its magical sleigh ride.  

Violinist Phoebe White, 2021 RDS Music Bursary winner, takes centre-stage for the Chausson, with the National Symphony Orchestra’s former principal clarinet, John Finucane, taking up the conductor’s baton.

Broadcast on The Full Score with Liz Nolan on RTÉ lyric fm.
