Earlier today, I attended a performance of the Ulster Orchestra, conducted by Michael Collins. The programme consisted of a work by the Grammy-winning composer Jessie Montgomery, Weber's Konzertstück in F minor, and finally Mozart's Symphony 39 in E-flat.

“Forceless upon our backs there fall
Infrequent flakes hexagonal,
Devised in a curious style
To charm our safety for awhile
Where close to earth like mice we go
Under horizontal snow”
