In this concert, the timeless battle between fate and the human spirit unfolds across three powerful works. It begins with the world première of Amelia Clarkson’s The Rain Keeps Coming, a stunning new commission by the Ulster Orchestra, where the soothing rhythms of rainfall lead through cycles of renewal and reflection. Next, Beethoven’s majestic Emperor Concerto takes centre stage, its bold piano entrances and triumphant energy celebrating the resilience to rise above life’s challenges. Finally, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 closes the evening, vividly portraying the eternal struggle against fate and the quest for happiness. A programme that journeys through life's ups and downs, this performance promises an unforgettable exploration of strength, rebirth, and the pursuit of joy.
