An annual fixture in Northern Ireland’s musical calendar, BBC Radio 3 is delighted to present 4 Summer Invitation Concerts with the Ulster Orchestra. Continuing a tradition which began in 1985, all of the concerts will take place in the Victorian splendour of the Ulster Hall, encompassing rarely heard works, music by women composers and symphonic classics.

The Season will also shine the spotlight on top talent: most notably the Belfast pianist Michael McHale in his 40th birthday year and BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, the Colombian cellist Santiago Cañón-Valencia. Conductor Angus Webster also returns, following his debut with the Orchestra last Summer, along with the Orchestra’s Honorary Principal Guest Conductor, Jac Van Steen.

This, the 1st of the 4 programmes, offers Dutch colour with a showcase of the work of the 20th-centuryth century pianist, teacher and composer Hans Henkemans, together with works by Schumann and a performance of the 9th Symphony by David Matthews. The Englishman wrote it in 2016 and will be in attendance.
