Dublin is a great music city. Here are just two performance moments – musical contrasts available in Dublin:
Top: Badge, specialists in classic British and American rock, performing in JJ Smyths, Aungier Street. The band can make a great job of the works of Clapton, Winwood, Green, to name just three.
Below: Alan Buribayev, Principal Conductor of the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra, in full flight in the National Concert Hall. Alan Buribayev was born in 1979 and is a Kazakh conductor, the son of a cellist/conductor father and a pianist mother. He studied violin and conducting at the Kazakh National Conservatory. He was later a conducting student of Uros Lajovic in Vienna. Buribayev won prizes in the Lovro von Matacic Conducting Competition in Zagreb and in the Antonio Pedrotti Competition in 2001.
