The Hamilton Scores on RTÉ lyric fm have become a regular weekend fixture to many over the last 22 years. Join the RTÉ Concert Orchestra for a special live event celebrating the best classical scores. George Hamilton presents an unbeatable line-up of musical greats, with tales from his travels and music by Shostakovich, Sibelius, Greig and more.

Attendees of last year’s debut Hamilton Scores Live concert may remember a cherished selection of scores from Bach to Puccini and Verdi. This year, the nation holds its breath again; expect an eclectic mix of classical favourites and George’s stories along the way, including Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No 4, Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Waltz and Strauss’ The Blue Danube.
