Ulster Orchestra

Classical Fever

“Everybody likes classical music but most people just haven’t found out about it yet!”

Boston Philharmonic conductor, Benjamin Zander.

Classical Fever was an orchestral concert for the uninitiated. Mr Zander took the audience of about 1000 post primary children on a journey, explaining throughout some of the great works of the orchestral repertoire: Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mozart and Mahler. He proved that all listeners can respond to classical music when someone helps to make the connection between the music and their lives. This interactive programme was held in the Ulster Hall on Wednesday 7 March and lasted 1½ hours. It was free to all.
