Concerts 2006

In illo tempore (November 2006)
This concert featured Italian music both early and modern; Monteverdi's Missa "In illo tempore" alongside Dallapiccola's Due cori: Il coro delle malmaritate, Il coro dei malammogliati, the songs of unhappy husbands and wives. Also performed were works by Mäntyjärvi and Berio, complemented with a selection of Monteverdi madrigals.

Songs for the Longest Day (June 2006)
On the day of the summer solstice, we beckoned the approaching darkness with Wilbye's Draw on, Sweet night. This concert at the Goethe-Institut was the first to include a work dedicated to the choir by the Finnish composer Jaakko Mäntyjärvi, The Train to Morrow. Stanford, Berio, Gibbons, and Monteverdi also featured.

Music for a While (March 2006)
Purcell's Music for a While began this concert of works which eventually made up our award-winning selection at the Cork International Choral Festival. Wilson, Monteverdi, Alcaraz, and Ligeti featured; also Rheinberger and Kocsár as well as our favourite Spirituals. The choir took this programme to Galway before returning to Dublin's Pro-Cathedral, where saxophonist Nick Roth performed an improvised solo accompaniment to Po Moner got a home at las.
