The Wicklow Piano Concerto

This blog has been set up to document a composition project by Cheryl Frances-Hoad. The idea, to write a piano concerto for pianist Bobby Chen and the Greystones Orchestra, based on the ideas and contributions of people of Co. Wicklow, Ireland, won the Music Commission from Wicklow County Council's Per Cent for Arts Scheme.

The Greystones Orchestra Concert in the Artane School of Music

The Greystones Orchestra get a standing ovation...

On the 27th May the Greystones Orchestra did a concert featuring songs from the shows. It was great fun (apparently a bit of a departure from their usual repertoire) and they were joined by the fantastic Artane Boys band (shown off to full effect in the Phantom of the Opera medley!)

It was great to meet some of the players afterwards, and the conductor Ronan O'Reilly.

You can find out more about the orchestra from their website: http://homepage.eircom.net/~greystonesorchestra/index.html
