On Wednesday night next (July 1), Mitchelstown Parish Church will play host to the 70 piece Cork Concert Orchestra, with the beautiful voice of soprano, Kim Sheehan. The recital comes under the title of 'Mozart to Morricone' - classical music in the Movies'.

The orchestra, under conductor Tom Doyle, will bring us some of the better known classical music from the silver screen. Allow yourself to be transported with pieces like Magcagni’s Cavelleria Rusticana which was famously used in 'The Godfather' and Mozart’s overture from 'The Marriage of Figaro' which has featured in many movies over the years. You will also be treated to music from the most famous of movie composers, Ennio Morricone with the theme music from 'Once Upon A Time In America'.
