| Performance Notes | Launching a weekend replete with talented young musicians working alongside experienced professionals, we hear this afternoons two Ulster orchestras separately before they join together in Elaine Agnews brand-new Dark Hedges and in a colourful suite from the folk-tale ballet for the Ballets Russes, which launched Stravinsky's international career.
