New Dublin Voices, invited to give the annual choral concert at this year’s Wexford Festival, will give a special preview concert at Saint Bartholomew’s on Saturday, 14 October at 1.00pm.
The programme includes Jonathan Dove’s The Passing of the Year, composed in memory of his mother, which beautifully complements in music the reflections on the transition from summer to autumn to winter by great poets including Blake, Tennyson, and Dickinson.
Also included is Holy Sonnet, which previews the world premiere of a new version specially revised for Wexford and for New Dublin Voices by Marco Tutino, composer of La ciociara, one of the three main operas featured at this year’s Wexford Festival. Frank Martin’s Mass for Double Choir will also be performed, and this exceptional concert will be rounded out with a selection of special pieces from the rich repertoire of New Dublin Voices…
…and something silly.
Tickets are €10 and may be purchased on eventbrite.ie or at the door (cash and card accepted).
