Pipeworks concert featuring Kirkos Ensemble and Tom Lane premiere

Kirkos Ensemble
David Adams, organ

Programme includes:

Hugo Distler from Nun komm der heiden Heiland
JS Bach Organ partitas Nun komm der Heiden Heiland and Wachet auf ruft uns die Stimme
Mendelssohn Sonata in D minor op.65 no.6 

Heinrich Kaminski Vater unser im Himmelreich
JS Bach Wachet auf ruft uns die Stimme
Tom Lane Ein feste Burg is unser Gott (new commission)

For Pipeworks' closing concert Kirkos Ensemble, one of Ireland’s most youthful and cutting-edge ensembles, collaborates with distinguished RIAM professor of organ David Adams. The event features interlude-improvisations from Kirkos players, as well as a new commission made possible with support from the Arts Council (An Chomhairle Ealaíon), in which composer Tom Lane presents the festival “theme tune” startlingly afresh.

This progressive look at the chorale through contemporary eyes forms a fitting conclusion to the festival.

Tickets available here and on the door.
