The Orpheus Choir and its musical director Hilary Reynolds, will have the honour and privilege of joining forces with the director of music and head organist of St Fin Barre's Cathedral, Malcolm Wisener, who will play the magnificent Cathedral organ at a very special recital on on Saturday, November 22 at 8pm.
Recently, the organ has been extensively renovated and is uniquely the largest example of its kind in the whole of Ireland. The evening will also feature a young rising star in Cork and environs Andrew Thomson who, with his sonorous baritone voice, will interlace the choral and instrumental tapestry of the programme with various vocal highlights, ranging from the delicate filigree of Bach's Mathew Passion to the dramatic intensity of Glück's 'Orfeo' and Mendelssohn's 'Elijah'.
The Orpheus Choir, a 30-strong, mixed-voiced ensemble, will sing a number of classical and romantic pieces, which, enhanced by the sublime acoustic of the Cathedral, are guaranteed to sound at their very best. To finish up the programme on a somewhat more contemporary note, it will bring a few familiar 'tunes' in slightly unfamiliar garbs, ending up 'with a bit of a swing'!
Tickets are €10 and can be obtained from the Cathedral Shop or at the door on the night. The proceeds of the concert are designated to the upkeep of the Cathedral.
