Ulster Orchestra

Popular Classics

For the Ulster Orchestra 2009/2009 concert season we have programmed six great concerts for you, featuring music that, well, just doesn't have to try too hard to captivate and enthrall. From the easy-listening jazz of Cleo Laine, to the soaring tenor voice of Alfie Boe, these concerts are crammed full of the sorts of tunes that have rightly become popular classics.  The Ulster Orchestra’s Popular Classics concerts are an ideal way to experience the most entertaining and accessible music. All concerts are in Belfast's Waterfront Hall at 7.45pm.
