Performers

Chamber Choir Ireland
Nils SchweckendiekGuest Director

In the closing concert of Louth Contemporary Music Society's summer festival, Chamber Choir Ireland performs music of peace, strangeness, and hope.

Led by Guest Director, Nils Schweckendiek, the programme features a setting of words by St John of the Cross to unearthly harmonies by Kevin Volans, and a new meditation by Canadian composer, Sarah Davachi.

"Like so much of today’s choral music, the programme echoes the prayers of long ago and asks: Can these be our prayers too?"
