Pop music meets classical symphony with this brilliant, exciting and fun new work based on today’s most current popular music trends for full symphony orchestra. Micheal McHale, Ireland’s most sought after young classical artist will perform an electrifying piano concerto full of driving rhythms and exuberant Russian flair.
