Ulster Orchestra

Radio 3 in Concert

Available for 28 days

The Ulster Orchestra presents a concert which brings together two powerful acts of musical reimagining. Stravinsky’s Pulcinella reshapes Pergolesi's music through a modern lens, sparkling with wit, elegance, and neoclassical charm. And after the interval, Schubert’s Symphony No. 9, The Great, expands Classical symphonic writing into something boldly new: a triumphant celebration of symphonic breadth and lyrical generosity. Stravinsky: Pulcinella* Schubert: Symphony No. 9 in C major, D. 944, The Great Gemma Summerfield, soprano* Toby Spence, tenor* Josef Jeongmeen Ahn, baritone* Ulster Orchestra Alpesh Chauhan, conductor Recorded at the Ulster Hall in Belfast on 15th May 2026 Presented by John Toal
