Pure Magic: A Night of Masterpieces at St Columbs Hall
Derry is set for a night of orchestral wonder this June as Le Foyer des Artistes returns for their Midsummer Concert: "Pure Magic."
As the twilight lingers over the city on June 6th, St Columbs Hall will be transformed into a realm of fantasy, romance, and technical brilliance. This isn't just a concert; it is the grand culmination of the 2025/26 season, bringing together international stars and the brightest local talent.The Music: From Fairy Realms to Operatic Intrigue
The evening begins by stepping into the enchanted woods ofMendelssohnsA Midsummer Night's Dream. From the famous wedding march to the skittering, "fairy-light" strings of the overture, its the perfect soundtrack for a June evening.
The mood then shifts to the wit and drama ofMozart, featuring theDa Ponte Opra Sextets. These are the "greatest hits" of Mozarts most famous collaborations, brought to life by the soaring voices of theLEF Young Singers.
Finally, prepare for the power ofBeethoven. ThePiano Concerto No. 3is a tour de forcemoody, turbulent, and ultimately triumphant. Its a piece that demands a master at the keys, and we have found just the person.Local Hero Returns
We are thrilled to welcome back pianistRowel Friers, the winner of the St Columbs Hall Concerto Award. Watching a performer of Rowels caliber tackle Beethoven in the very hall where he has made such an impact is a "must-see" moment for the local arts community.A Community of Voices
