Immerse yourself in the festive spirit with this glorious celebration of music, featuring four remarkable settings of the Magnificat—by Bach, Tippett, Schütz and Monteverdi—each offering a unique interpretation of the timeless canticle of Mary.
Join the Goethe Choir for our annual Christmas celebration with special guests St. Mary’s Pro-Cathedral Girls’ Choir. Both choirs continue their tradition of presenting choral music of the highest calibre. From the intricate counterpoint and grandeur of Bach’s Baroque masterpiece to Tippett’s expressive 20th-century vision, this concert promises a rich and varied musical experience that honours both tradition and innovation.
These works offer a rich and varied reflection on the themes of joy, humility, and divine promise that lie at the heart of the Christmas story, featuring soloists: Aisling Kenny & Éadaoin Hassett (Sopranos), Francesco Giusti (Countertenor), Christopher Bowen & Patrick McGinley (Tenors) and Michael McCartan (Bass)
