THE mid-west region's premier live entertainment and cultural venue, University Concert Hall (UCH) in Limerick celebrated its 30th anniversary last weekend with a performance by one of the most prestigious orchestras in Ireland.
Conducted by Joshua Gersen, the RTÉ Concert Orchestra was accompanied by world-renowned pianist John O'Conor who was one of the first musicians to perform at UCH.
UCH became the first purpose-built concert hall in Ireland when it was officially opened on the University of Limerick campus in September 1993 by Taoiseach Albert Reynolds TD and US Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith.
The 1,038-seat auditorium has since attracted performances from some of the biggest names in entertainment including Johnny Cash and June Carter, James Taylor, Billy Connolly, Leslie Garrett, Van Morrison, The King's Singers, Albert Hammond, Jimmy Carr, Sir James Galway, Christy Moore and the late Sinead O’Connor.
