Carlow Choral Society’s Summer Concert – Haydn and Mozart Saturday May 18 th
Cathedral of the Assumption, Carlow.
This powerful performance included Haydn’s dramatic Nelson Mass – one of Haydn’s finest works and was composed in 1798 during the ongoing turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars. Its completion had coincided with Nelson’s victory in the Battle of the Nile and it came to be known as the Nelson Mass.
The concert featured also Haydn’s Te Deum and three of Mozart’s most sublime works, Lacrimosa from Requiem, Ave Verum and Laudate Dominum.
Conducted by Musical Director, Blanaid Murphy, with the Irish Choral Sinfonia Orchestra and organist Yvonne Collier,
soloists; Soprano: Aisling Kenny, Alto: Leanne Fitzgerald,
Tenor: Jacek Wislocki and Bass: Eoghan Desmond.
Carlow Choral Society has over 70 members and performs regularly many choral works both at home and abroad. Our most recent concert was our 2018 Christmas Concert which featured Vivaldi’s Gloria and other festive works. The choir travelled to Berlin in July 2018 to participate in the International COSOA choral festival and also travelled to Halifax in the UK in 2017 to join Halifax Choral Society for their special 200th anniversary performance of Handel’s Messiah.
