In the Beginnings - A Collaboration with the Ulster Orchestra

“In the Beginnings” is a special collaboration between Northern Irish author Jan Carson and the Ulster Orchestra. This series of eight short episodes features original writing from Jan and specially commissioned music by composer Paul Frost, performed by our players. The pieces are inspired by Jan’s experience at Carniny Primary School, Ballymena, where her love of creativity was nurtured. The series was supported by funding from the Garfield Weston Foundation.
