First LIVE Concert Streaming from University Concert Hall & UL
An exiting press release… (Thanks to David Collopy)
On Saturday 1st August people from all over the world can zone in on University Concert Hall and watch, listen to and enjoy musicians –also from all over the world – perform Live!
“The PianoMan” is the inaugural concert of this year’s Summer Music on the Shannon International Festival and will be the first ever concert streamed Live from the UL campus.
Over three hundred classical music and opera students and faculty have gathered in University Concert Hall from countries including the US, Canada, France, Italy and even Zambia, for Summer Music on the Shannon 2009.
UCH & UL are therefore delighted to announce this innovation whereby parents, friends and family of these young pupils can now log on and enjoy the first performance of the Festival!
Hosted by the HEA (Highter Education Authority) Net and facilitated by the University of Limerick ITD department, this will be the first of many concerts streamed live from UCH for the benefit and enjoyment of music fans the world over!
“The PianoMan” will feature John Perry, Professor of Music at the University of Southern California, and friends perform a delightful programme of music including Schubert’s Fantasia (Piano for Four Hands), Beethoven’s Piano Sonata In D and Terzetto in C by Dvorak. The concert is Free to the public and is sure to set the scene for a wonderful 16th SMS season!
For those of you who cannot get to UCH next Saturday night, be sure to log onto http://flashhost.heanet.ie/sms/live.html and enjoy!
