Review of the weekend's Messiah: "The Philharmonic, under their new chorus director James Grossmith, is currently in fine form, and they were particularly impressive as they soared through the rippling choruses right to the mighty Great Amen" newsletter.co.uk/whats-on/arts-…

But before that our Chorus Director James will be on BBC Radio Ulster Talkback from 1pm talking - appropriately enough - about his favourite Christmas carols ☃️

If you're interested in joining the adult chorus and missed our big audition sessions in September and January, we have a few bonus slots to audition on the evening of Tuesday 13th February. Email [email protected] for information on timeslots!

We'll be closing the 23/24 season with midsummer evening magic in Hill of The O'Neill & Ranfurly House on Sat 15 June. The concert is full of music of light, the heavens, love and memory: Lauridsen's Nocturnes, Whitbourn's The Seven Heavens and Hagenberg's Illuminare. ✨ #ACNISupported

What a breathtaking performance of Mahler 2! Congratulations Ulster Orchestra and Belfast Philharmonic Society ! Multiple standing ovations and joyous cheers 👏📯🎻 (excellent liner notes Richard Bratby ).
