RTÉ Concert Orchestra

The RTÉ Concert Orchestra presents epic music from Star Wars movies for the day that’s in it! Experience a live orchestra going full tilt in stirring themes from The Phantom Menace, The Attack of the Clones, The Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, The Mandalorian and more. Always fast to sell out, the force is strong with this one.

The RTÉ CO is delighted to welcome dynamic young American conductor Joshua Gersen in his first Irish appearance, fresh from his role as Assistant Conductor of the New York Philharmonic. There he made a classic breakthrough debut in the subscription season in 2017 and won acclaim from audience, critics and musicians alike: ‘Impassioned and incisive, the performance earned a standing ovation and prolonged applause from his colleagues in the orchestra.’
