Irish Chamber Orchestra 'Water Music' with Richard Egarr (Dublin/Galway/Limerick)

18 September 2025 19:30 - 20 September 2025 19:30

The Irish Chamber Orchestra conducted by Richard Egarr.

Deirdre McKay’s 'Meltwater' evokes the fragile beauty of ice slowly melting, an emotional reflection on water in a time of climate change. With subtle, shimmering textures, it captures both the wonder of nature and the quiet urgency of a warming world.

In contrast, Handel’s 'Water Music' offers a lively dance-driven celebration of nature’s beauty drawing on historical grandeur and dance rhythms, for performance on the Thames. It’s music that dances, dazzles, and delights.
