Sunday 15th December 2019 saw a special double feature with Cantairí Avondale’s annual Christmas concerts in St Stephen’s Pepper Canister Church, on Mount Street.
The theme of this year’s performances was that of meditation and reflection. John Doyle, our musical director, put together a thoughtful programme of pieces, inviting those present to enjoy the stillness of their surrounds and escape the hustle and bustle outside.
The choir once more had the pleasure of performing Tom Lane’s “A Christmas Childhood” following on from an atmospheric recitation of Patrick Kavanagh’s poem by Ros Mc Feely. Another highlight was the choir’s debut performance of Poulenc’s collection of Christmas motets which echoed beautifully within the walls and aisles of the Church.
Thank you to all of you who joined us for our concerts and shared in our love of music.
Merry Christmas from all of us in the choir and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year.!
Below are some pictures from our two concerts:
