LSOM are travelling from Ireland to tour the UK for just a few days, performing first in Worcester and then moving on to Stratford-upon-Avon to perform with the Coventry & Warwickshire Youth Orchestra. Ian Hattersley, Severn Arts Music Leader said: “All of us here at Worcestershire Youth Orchestra are really looking forward to our concert with the Limerick School of Music Senior Orchestra. It will be an amazing opportunity for all our participants and it’s going to be such an exciting and memorable performance - as we’ve got over 80 young musicians performing in this concert! I’m particularly looking forward to moment when both groups perform an arrangement of Bernstein’s ‘Mambo’ to conclude the concert.” Limerick School of Music is the largest provider of music education in the Mid-West Region. Over the past number of years, the School’s Orchestra have performed all over Ireland, highlights including the National Concert Hall Dublin, City Hall Cork and UCH Limerick.
