RTÉ CO Presents: The Soul of New York on New Year's Eve

About the show

RTÉ Concert Orchestra
Guy Barker conductor 

Ring in the New Year with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and Guy Barker as we head on a spiritual musical journey through New York - from the Apollo Theater to Times Square, and from Radio City Music Hall to The Ritz.
​​​​​​​
Join us for a gritty, soulful New Year’s Eve celebration inspired by the artists who shaped the sound of the city that never sleeps. With the RTÉ CO and special guest vocalists, enjoy powerhouse performances of music made famous by Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, James Brown, Gladys Knight and more.

Hear Ray Charles’ swinging Hit the Road Jack, Aretha Franklin’s (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, and James Brown’s I Got You (I Feel Good) to embody the swagger and spirit of New York on New Year's Eve.

Through funk, soul and R&B music orchestrated, we capture the same energy of iconic past New Year’s Eve performances across the city - from Janet Jackson at Madison Square Garden and Joan Jett at The Ritz to New Yorkers Barry Manilow at Radio City Music Hall and most recently Billy Joel - making New York at New Year's Eve a spectacle of song.

Join us for a funky, New York infused celebration with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and Guy Barker, full of vibrant storytelling and the ultimate soundtrack to welcome 2027.
