What special celebration is being held for Dr. Richard Collins?
Now, just one last thing to do. The ladies and gentlemen of the RTE National Symphony Orchestra are over in Studio One. I can see the leader coming out there now. Receiving, as always, a lovely round of applause. And here comes the conductor. And now, to end this wonderful edition of Mooney Goes Wild, a special musical moment, the entire ensemble of the RTE National Symphony Orchestra comes together to perform one of the most instantly recognisable tunes in the world.
What musical performance honors Dr. Collins on his birthday?
Simple and universal. Sung everywhere from kitchen tables to concert halls. It's a melody that belongs to all of us. And there's something rather special about hearing it played by a full national orchestra. Rich, generous and joyful. Here is the RTE National Symphony Orchestra with their rendition of Happy Birthday to You, Dr. Richard Collins.
Richard, can you believe it? All of these people gathered here, especially for you. I'm the Greenland shark of Mooney Goes Wild.
That's all we have time for. We'll do it all again next week.
How does the RTE National Symphony Orchestra contribute to the celebration?
In the meantime, visit the website, rte.ie forward slash Mooney. Until next week, bye! Mooney Goes Wild. Listen back on the RTE Radio Player app.
