Chamber Choir Ireland: 'Songs of the Soul' featuring two world premieres by Kevin Volans
St. Nicholas’ Church of Ireland
Performers: Chamber Choir Ireland with Nils Schweckendiek—Guest Director
In the closing concert of Louth Contemporary Music Society's summer festival, Chamber Choir Ireland performs music of peace, strangeness, and hope.
Led by Guest Director, Nils Schweckendiek, the programme features the world premieres of two newly commissioned works: a setting of words by St John of the Cross to unearthly harmonies by Kevin Volans, and a new meditation by Canadian composer, Sarah Davachi.
Like so much of today’s choral music, the programme echoes the prayers of long ago and asks: Can these be our prayers too?
