Players from the Ulster Orchestra, with leader Ioana Petcu-Colan played an hour of wonderful music as part of this year’s ‘Out To Lunch Festival’. It was held in the Black Box, a performance and arts venue in Belfast. Included in the programme was Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings, one of his earliest compositions and full of the sunny optimism and cheerful exuberance of youth. The event was finished off with a light lunch.
