Mornington Singers Concert:
“21"
To mark the 21st anniversary
of their founding, the Mornington Singers invite you to come and celebrate this
milestone birthday with them at a special concert on Saturday 23rd of June at
7pm in Trinity College Chapel.
Founded in 1997 by a group of
Trinity College Singers graduates, united by their friendship and love of
singing together, the award-winning choir (which takes its name from the Earl
of Mornington, the first Professor of Music at Trinity College Dublin) has gone
on to establish itself as one of Ireland’s leading choral ensembles. Performing
a broad range of a cappella repertoire, with a particular focus on music of the
20th and 21st centuries, the choir has won many awards both in Ireland and
internationally, has released 5 CD recordings and has sung in live performances
of video game music, at Electric Picnic, on film soundtracks and in concert
with Andrea Bocelli, Lesley Garrett and David Puttnam.
This concert will feature a
programme of some of the choir’s favourite works through the years, including
music by Byrd, Mendelssohn, James McMillan, Seán Doherty and many more.
