Chamber Choir Ireland present 'The Bird and the Bees' featuring music by Rhona Clarke, Eoghan Desmond & Stephen McNeff

Chamber Choir Ireland, conducted by Paul Hillier.

With sunlight streaming through the windows of the Pepper Canister Church, Chamber Choir Ireland welcome audiences for an evening of light-hearted early music, contemporary Irish works, and favourite partsongs—full of birdsong, cheerful foresters, floral garlands, and woodland nymphs.
