Now in the second year of her MA in Music, Aisling's recitals of works by Bach - Busoni., Mendelssohn, Liszt, Rachmaninoff and Billy Mayerl will be sure to wow all in attendance.
This concert will feature a collection of songs exploring secular spirituality composed by William Brittelle and featuring special guests the Metropolis Ensemble, Arone Dyer (Buke and Gase), Andy Stack (Wye Oak) and Sam Amidon.
“Brittelle has been drawing from his varied experiences in classical music, punk rock, and electronica to produce silo-bombing music that is at once free-ranging, formally adventurous, unconventionally beautiful, and a joyful thrill to experience.” — Nation
Mozart’s brief, poignant and rarely programmed Masonic Funeral Music partners Hindemith’s achingly beautiful Trauermusik, commissioned on the death of George V. Mozart adds his own voice to Bach’s music, paying tribute to the master of fugue while Australian Brett Dean’s Short Stories, five evocative abstract miniatures, serve as interludes in between. Mahler’s great Tenth Symphony traverses an unremitting arc of emotion. Its atmospheric Adagio, an immensely spacious and gloriously scored cadence, closes an ethereal programme.
We are delighted to announce that on Saturday 7th September, we will celebrate ten years with an early evening concert at 5pm in the Curtis Auditorium of CIT Cork School of Music.
Featuring the Chorus of Cork Operatic Society with a star-studded lineup including Majella Cullagh, Molly Lynch, Kelley Petcu, Michael Sands, Niamh O'Sullivan and Ryan Morgan with conductor Conor Palliser, guest conductor John O'Brien and pianist Tom Doyle, this concert will celebrate the society's place in Cork's opera-making tradition over the last ten years and marks the start of another chapter for this voluntary society dedicated to opera performance in Cork City.
