Unfortunately the launch also involved in almost nautical proportions a great deal of torrential rainwater. However, the opening concert at the Waterfront Hall was preceded by an impressive torchlit procession from the City Hall, culminating in an amazing aerial performance from French musicians Transe Express. The foyer of the hall pulsated with primeval drumming and I can't remember a festival launch that managed to attract more children and young people. The concert itself, given by the Ulster Orchestra with principal conductor Thierry Fischer featured music from three capital cities reinforcing the theme, Sounding the City. Fischer and the orchestra enjoyed themselves immensely in Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from W est Side Story.

40. Theatre Review, Art Review In And Around Waterford, Ireland positive step of engaging the upand-coming pianist finghin collins and a new finghin collins is a confident performer and he showed his control in http://www.munster-express.ie/041112/fun4.htm

ARTS REVIEW Review: Finghin Collins L ast Thursday, 4th November, in the Large Room, City Hall, Waterford Music celebrated with its 500th Concert and took the forward-looking, positive step of engaging the up-and-coming pianist Finghin Collins and a new piece of Irish music from composer Gerry Murphy. Murphy is the son-in-law of the late Patsy Cahill who taught me Latin in Mount Sion, and a wonderful inspirational teacher he was too. Murphy composed Five Locks On The Barrow which had its premiere in Duiske Abbey, Graiguenamanagh, this year. Finghan Collins brought out the modern imagery of the piece that reflects a musical fascination with water in its many moods. It was a treat to hear it. The rest of Collin's programme was a melancholic choice of Schumann and Schubert. Both of these composers died from syphilis, or perhaps poisoning from the mercury used in the treatment of the disease. Perhaps the work should have been more celebratory in keeping with the occasion as Waterford Music was making a significant piece of history having survived 63 seasons of music. Finghin Collins is a confident performer and he showed his control in Schuman's Kinderzenen and the little-heard Humoreske. His head was in the clouds of romantic lyricism and then he swooped down as if his head would meet the keys as the work showed his skill. His closing Schubert, Sonata in C min. was a powerful and emotional piece with just a few infelicities on the night. I heard the powerful final Allegro some years ago at an AIDS Concert and I saw men crying on that occasion. Collins encored with a Chopin Nocturne dedicated to the memory of Bridget Doolin and it was a touching tribute. A Wallace Romance ended the memorable evening. In an evening of celebration it seemed odd that the Chair of Waterford Music made a slight criticism of Waterford media coverage. Perhaps the problem might be with a hard working Committee that do not have a Press or Publicity Officer.
