Concerto for Uilleann Pipes and Symphonic Wind Orchestra (world premiere), soloist Mark Redmond
This concert is organized in collaboration with the Embassy of Ireland, to commemorate the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
The programme focuses on a dialogue between two cultures, where the Irish (uilleann) pipes and the Lithuanian Symphonic Wind Orchestra meet, bringing to life the idea of unity and European partnership. The first part features M. K. Čiurlionis’ symphonic poem Miške and the works of the American classic A. Copland, paving the way between national identity and universal values. The concert culminates in a special premiere of a work by Shaun Davey, co-commissioned by the LSPO, in partnership with the Embassy of Ireland in Lithuania, where Uilleann pipes virtuoso Mark Redmond, together with Lithuanian performers, masterfully combines tradition and modernity.
