Join us on March 29th for an evening of choral music charting the soaring highs of new love to depths of heartbreak.
Our programme weaves together a rich tapestry of musical styles and themes. Feel the joy and exuberance of Finzi’s My spirit sang all day and Grainger’s playful Love at First Sight contrasted with the poignant beauty of Barber’s Mary Hynes and the haunting melodies of traditional Irish tunes She Moved Through the Fair and Siúil a Run.
