Last minute reminder to come to the Ulster College of Music end of term recital at Fisherwick Presbyterian Church on Saturday 20th June at 4.30. We are celebrating our 60th anniversary this year , so this recital is the beginning of 6 months of celebration. As a special treat, some of the performers featured will be joined by tutors from the college. Looking forward to an organ piece and a quartet by Schubert for Flute, Guitar, viola and Cello. Adult tickets are £10 at door, and children are free, wth light refreshments provided. What a lovely way to spend an early evening in June!

Our Friday evening recitals at Ulster College of Music just go from strength to strength, and our most recent featured Cecily Smith Nesbitt on cello. Fresh from her success last month as a member of the Rove ensemble, she delivered a programme that combined virtuosity, breadth of genres and fascinating stories about her work as a hospital based musician, speaking to us about the role of improvisation and collaboration with patients in composing meaningful and healing works. This she explained, was how the cello ‘tells musical stories’, and due to the diverse groups she has worked with in England she had had to learn music from as far afield as Finland and Africa. Now she is based in Belfast, a common request is apparently “Do you know Carrickfergus?”. She did, for us, play a beautiful version of ‘My Lagan Love’. We also heard an arrangement of an English folk song, and pieces by Bach and Pietti.

We are pleased to invite you to our next Evening Chamber Music Recital taking place on Friday 10th April at 7.30 in the Ulster College of Music, 13 Windsor Avenue Belfast. Cecily Smith Nesbitt will be performing a mixture of traditional classical solo cello pieces including by Bach and Piatti, along with songs and improvisations used in her life as a hospital musician. She will be sharing and reflecting on her community music practice as part of the recital, and exploring the many ways the cello can be used to tell musical stories. Not to be missed!
