Concealed and Revealed delights in images of revelation and spiritual epiphany, of texts and sounds.
The meanings are elucidated and uncovered, and of a multitude of ideas and images on the theme of concealment: the night, the moon, and sensual metaphors such as budding flowers and other feminine imagery, both sacred and secular. Featuring music by Johann Sebastian Bach, Henry Purcell, and Maddalena Casulana, this annual choral concert brings together multiple local choirs under the direction of Peter Barley and Cecilia Madden.
Cantatas, motets, madrigals, and virtuosic instrumentals are sure to delight the ear and move the heart in this programme of sacred & secular music in the beautiful medieval venue of Saint Mary’s Cathedral. The recently established McCullagh-Ó Briain Emerging Artist Award marks its second year, recognising an outstanding instrumentalist playing with historically informed style, and named in memory of Bertha McCullagh-Ó Bríain, educator, and longtime supporter of arts, literature, and culture. The winner of the award will once again be showcased as a soloist during the evening’s concert.
