About

Members of the Ulster Orchestra are to make a welcome return to Bellaghy, as part of their On Your Doorstep series of concerts seeking to bring the orchestra to audiences across Northern Ireland.

There is a growing resolve in the classical music world to shine a light on composers and performers who have been unjustifiably neglected or, worse still, deliberately written out of the genre's history. Works by female composers are being given a new prominence and celebrated as they always should have been.

The Ulster Orchestra is delighted to return once again to Seamus Heaney HomePlace, where players from the strings and brass sections of the Orchestra will perform work by female composers whose work has been rediscovered in recent years. Exploring these works has brought to the fore some wonderful music that everyone should know and enjoy. It is also our huge pleasure to welcome Dr Leah Broad, author of Quartet: How Four Women Changed the Musical World, to host the evening and the programme will contain pieces by Doreen Carwithen, Dorothy Gates, Rebecca Clarke and Ethel Smyth.

On Your Doorstep is an Ulster Orchestra initiative, founded in the orchestra's 50th anniversary season, which sees the orchestra play in as diverse a range of venues as possible across Northern Ireland.
