  The uncompromising and iconic singer Sinead O'Connor pioneers new ground with a unique musical collaboration with the Ulster Orchestra in the climactic concert of this year's Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival.

The concert will feature songs from O'Connor's most recent album Theology ("the best record Sinead has made for years" Sunday Independent) as well as specially commissioned orchestral arrangements of some of her biggest hits from her recent highly acclaimed world tour.

The concert will be broadcast live on BBC Radio Ulster and follows in the spirit of last year's unforgettable gig with Duke Special, Foy Vance, Julie Feeney and the Ulster Orchestra.

 
  "Theology is an attempt to create a place of peace in a time of war," said Sinead. "It is my own personal response to what has taken and is affecting everyone around the world since and including September 11, 2001. I want to be very clear - there is no message. No preaching. Nothing deep and meaningful the artist wants to say, nothing trouble making. I simply wanted to make a beautiful thing, out of something beautiful, which inspires me. Working with the renowned Ulster Orchestra is an honour and gets me so excited!"

"As usual, O'Connor demands our attention... impassioned... glowing... she's still as relevant as she is colourful."
