From a big-hearted Serenade to uplifting opera arias – celebrate the full breadth of Mozart’s musical glories at this sumptuous concert in the company of some passionate Mozartians.

Peter Whelan is one of Europe’s most exciting interpreters of Baroque and Classical repertoire – formerly the SCO’s Principal Bassoon, he’s now Artistic Director of the Irish Baroque Orchestra. He intersperses the movements of Mozart’s festive ‘Posthorn’ Serenade – which wittily incorporates the distinctive sounds of the mail-coach trumpet – and intersperses them with vibrant arias from some of the composer’s most adored operas, sung by acclaimed Irish mezzo soprano Tara Erraught.

From strong emotions to effervescent fun, experience all the musical mastery of Mozart.
