Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra to Perform at Dublin’s National Concert Hall this May with Conductor Domingo Hindoyan and Cellist Guy Johnston in Elgar’s Cello Concerto     

The internationally acclaimed Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra is set to captivate audiences at Dublin’s National Concert Hall on Thursday 15th of May 8pm with an unforgettable evening of music by Elgar, Rachmaninov and an Irish premiere by Roberto Sierra 'Fandangos'. Under the baton of Chief Conductor Domingo Hindoyan, the orchestra will be joined by celebrated British cellist Guy Johnston for this highly anticipated concert, as part of the National Concert Hall Season '24/'25, showcasing the orchestra’s signature dynamism and precision. 

Their chosen programme highlights both beloved masterpieces such as Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances and the Irish premiere of Fandangos by Puerto Rican composer Roberto Sierra - a set of vibrant orchestral variations with distinctive Spanish trumpets and castanets to the fore. As one of the UK’s foremost cellists, Guy Johnston will bring his expressive and commanding playing to the stage in Elgar’s Cello Concerto, a cornerstone of the solo cello repertoire and Elgar’s last notable work. 

A former BBC Young Musician of the Year, Guy has since performed with leading orchestras worldwide bringing a compelling presence to every stage he graces. His collaboration with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in at the National Concert Hall promises to be a highlight for classical music lovers in Ireland. 

At the forefront of classical music for over 180 years the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra has been delighting audiences worldwide with its rich sound and compelling interpretations. Since taking to the helm in 2021, Domingo Hindoyan’s leadership of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra has been instrumental in elevating the orchestra’s international reputation and expanding its reach to new audiences. The orchestra plays a central role in Liverpool’s cultural scene and continues to be a beacon of artistic excellence under his guidance. With a commitment to both classical traditions and innovative programming, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic remains at the forefront of the international music world, making their performance in Dublin’s National Concert Hall a must-attend event.

Faoi stiúir an Phríomh- Stiúrthóra Domingo Hindoyan, beidh an dordveidhleadóir clúiteach Briotanach Guy Johnston in éineacht leis an gceolfhoireann don cheolchoirm seo a bhfuiltear ag súil leis go mór, mar chuid de Shéasúr an Cheolárais Náisiúnta, agus fuinneamh agus neart agus beachtas na ceolfhoirne ar taispeáint.  

Ina gclár roghnaithe cuirtear sárshaothair mhóra ar nós Symphonic Dances Rachmaninov agus ceol níos comhaimseartha ar nós an chéad taibhiú Éireannach de Fandangos trí spás gan bhriseadh - an cumadóir de chuid Puerto Rican U+00A0 Roberto Sierra - sraith d’éagsúlachtaí bríomhara ceolfhoirne le trumpaí agus castanets Spáinneacha sainiúla chun tosaigh. Mar dhuine de na dordveidhleadóirí is fearr sa Ríocht Aontaithe, tabharfaidh Guy Johnston a sheinm léiritheach agus cheannródaíoch ar an stáitse, i Concerto do Dhonnchadas Elgar, cloch choirnéil an repertoire dordveidhil aonair agus saothar suntasach deireanach Elgar.  

Is iar-Cheoltóir Óg na Bliana de chuid an BBC é Guy, agus ó shin i leith tá sé ag seinm le ceolfhoirne móra le rá ar fud an domhain ag tabhairt láithreacht an-láidir ag gach céim dá chuid. Is cinnte go mbeidh a chomhoibriú leis an Royal Liverpool Philharmonic ag an gCeoláras Náisiúnta ina bhuaicphointe do lucht an cheoil chlasaicigh in Éirinn.  

Tá Ceolfhoireann Fhiolarmónach Ríoga Learphollar thús cadhnaíochta an cheoil chlasaicigh le breis agus 180 bliain anuas ag baint sult as lucht féachana ar fud an domhain lena fuaim shaibhir agus a léiriú an-láidir. Ó chuaigh sé i gceannas in 2021, tá ceannaireacht Domingo Hindoyan ar Cheolfhoireann Fhilharmónach Ríoga Learpholl lárnach maidir le cáil idirnáisiúnta na ceolfhoirne a ardú agus lena raon a leathnú chuig lucht féachana nua. Tá ról lárnach ag an gceolfhoireann i saol cultúrtha Learpholl agus leanann sí de bheith ina comhartha sármhaitheasa ealaíne faoina stiúir. Agus é tiomanta do thraidisiúin chlasaiceacha agus do chláir nuálacha araon, tá Fiolarmónach Ríoga Learpholl ar thús cadhnaíochta i saol an cheoil idirnáisiúnta, rud a fhágann gur ócáid nach mór freastal ar a dtaibhiú sa Cheoláras Náisiúnta i mBaile Átha Cliath.
