The award-winning Ulster Youth Orchestra (UYO) provides high quality musical tuition, orchestral experience and performance opportunities, not otherwise available in Northern Ireland. Through its residential courses, concerts, outreach programmes and special projects, the orchestra provides young musicians with much-needed access and exposure to the very best professional tutors and the chance to study under established international conductors.     

The Ulster Youth Orchestra turns 30 in 2023 and to mark this exceptional occasion, are thrilled to be able to perform with two of their patrons, internationally acclaimed pianists Barry Douglas and Michael McHale. 
Venezuelan-born American conductor Ilyich Rivas will open the concert with a specially commissioned celebratory piece by local composer Greg Caffrey.

Ilyich Rivas made his professional debut at the age of 16 in front of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and has subsequently made successful debuts with a number of important orchestras in Europe and the US, including the London Philharmonic, Swedish Radio Symphony, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Gothenburg Symphony, Stuttgart Radio Symphony, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, NDR Radiophilharmonie Hanover, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Orquesta Sinfonica de Castilla y Leon and the Orquesta Sinfonica de Galicia.

Barry Douglas has established a major international career since winning the Gold Medal at the 1986 Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition, Moscow. As Artistic Director of Camerata Ireland, the only all-Ireland orchestra and the Clandeboye Festival, he continues to celebrate his Irish heritage whilst also maintaining a busy international touring schedule.  In January 2021 Barry Douglas was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for services to music and community relations in the 2021 New Year Honours List.                 
Belfast-born Michael McHale has established himself as one of Ireland’s leading pianists and has developed a busy international career as a solo recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician. In 2017 Michael was invited to become a Patron of the Ulster Youth Orchestra, and in 2018 he was appointed lecturer in piano for undergraduate and postgraduate students at the MTU Cork School of Music in Ireland.  
Michael collaborates regularly with Sir James Galway, Michael Collins, Patricia Rozario, Dame Felicity Lott, Wigmore Soloists and Camerata Pacifica.
