Summer Lunchtime: Anoesjcka Delorenzo

Join the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, legendary conductor Guy Barker, and acclaimed pianist Anoesjcka Delorenzo for a captivating Summer Lunchtime concert celebrating the power and artistry of female composers. This sweeping program is a journey into the heart of emotive music, where each piece reflects the depths of the human condition. Experience the unique sound of Anoesjcka Delorenzo, whose pictorial and profoundly moving compositions are born from feeling, leading to a viewing experience filled with empathy and a shared sense of connection. Highlights include her evocative pieces "Astral Sky" and "Parte Di Me." Beyond Delorenzo’s work, this special concert shines a spotlight on pioneering women who shaped 20th-century music. Discover the brilliance of Shirley Walker, the groundbreaking composer behind iconic scores for *Batman*, *Superman: The Animated Series*, and *Final Destination*; Bernice Petkere, dubbed the "Queen of Tin Pan Alley" by Irving Berlin; and Lil Hardin Armstrong, a jazz visionary who left an indelible mark as a pianist, composer, arranger, singer, and bandleader, with hits like “Bad Boy” and “Just for a Thrill” revitalized by Ray Charles. As Anoesjcka Delorenzo beautifully puts it, “The perception of our own experiences is often unreliable. Our art tells the truth.” Immerse yourself in this unforgettable concert and explore the musical subconscious through the female gaze—a truly special event presented by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.
