MADRIGAL ’75
Wednesday 17 and Thursday 18 December, 19:30
CURTIS AUDITORIUM, MTU CORK SCHOOL OF MUSIC

To conclude their fiftieth anniversary celebrations, choral ensemble Madrigal ’75, conducted by James Taylor, present their ever-popular Christmas concert series featuring a stunning selection of seasonal choral music and rarely performed works spanning the ages.

Alongside Gustav Holst’s cherished setting of ‘In the Bleak Midwinter’ and the boisterous ‘Ding, dong, merrily on high’, the choir will perform a newly commissioned arrangement of ‘Don Oíche úd i mBeithil’ by Milo McCarthy, an undergraduate student at Cork School of Music. Seasonal fayre, including light bites and refreshments, will be available to enjoy after the concerts.

Please note that, in a change to previous years, seating will be unallocated across the tiered and flat sections.
