Finding A Voice 2025: Chamber Choir Ireland 'Sing before night'
Old St Mary’s Church
Imagine where this dove will go…
From the soaring medieval visions of Hildegard of Bingen to the refined Renaissance harmonies of Sulpitia Cesis and Raffaella Aleotti, Chamber Choir Ireland, under the direction of Owain Park, celebrates the enduring beauty of the choral tradition.
The programme weaves late Romantic gems by Clara Schumann and Amy Beach together with luminous works by contemporary composers, including the captivating voices of Caroline Shaw and Shruthi Rajasekar. A centrepiece is Thea Musgrave’s Rorate caeli, a vivid choral tour de force for double choir.
