The concert will feature the premier of Tom Lane’s Pixel, the winning submission of the 2015 Hibernian Orchestra Composition Competition.  Pixel is a short piece which explores the sound created by zooming in closely to the surface of a musical texture.   In just over three minutes the music ranges from mysteriously sparse twinkling to rhythmically complex passages for full orchestra.    Tom Lane is a Dublin based composer who has played the viola with the Hibernian Orchestra for the past five years. His most recent large-scale pieces include the live choral score for Oedipus at the Abbey Theatre in 2015 and Harp, A River Cantatawhich transformed the Samuel Beckett Bridge into a giant musical instrument as the opening ceremony of the 2014 Tiger Dublin Fringe Festival.    Prokofiev – Piano Concerto No. 3 featuring Soloist Teodor Radu Completed in 1921, this concerto is probably the most popular of the Post-Romantic piano concertos.  It was premiered at the end of 1921 with Prokofiev himself as soloist.   Soloist Teodor Radu is the winner of the Hibernian Concerto competition.  Teodor is an Irish Romanian Pianist and Composer who is a recent graduate of the Royal Irish Academy of Music.   Prokofiev – Symphony No. 5 Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 was composed in the summer of 1944, while Prokofiev was living in an artist’s retreat near Moscow.  It premiered in Moscow in the Great Hall of the Music Conservatory with the composer conducting.  It also earned him a coveted front cover of Time magazine a week after it was first performed in the US in November 1945 and is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Prokofiev’s career.   About the Hibernian Orchestra Founded in 1981, the Dublin-based Hibernian Orchestra (formerly the Hibernian Chamber Orchestra) is now recognised as the leading voluntary Orchestra in Ireland. The players come from a variety of backgrounds: as well as music teachers and music students, the orchestra includes many pre-professionals, musicians pursuing other careers and increasingly, players who were trained across the world and who now reside and work in Ireland.  What unites the members of this ensemble is their love of classical music and their commitment to the highest possible performance standards.   RDS (Royal Dublin Socity) Concert Hall, Dublin DD/MM/YYYY
