OSC/Neville Marriner

NCH, Dublin Mon 8pm 20-35 01-4170000

Neville Marriner’s debut concerts with the Orchestra of St Cecilia were one of the highlights of 2007. The octogenerian (he turned 85 last April) is back this week for more of the same, though just one concert this time. Like his first concert two years ago, it’s a coupling of two contrasted Beethoven symphonies, the Fourth and the

Eroica

. The second of the OSC’s regular November concerts will be an all-Haydn on November 23rd under Proinnsías Ó Duinn, with two concertos (the Cello Concerto in C with Guy Johnston and the Trumpet Concerto with Crispian Steele-Perkins) framed by two symphonies (No 22 and No 45, the

Farewell

).
