The ‘Music for Good Friday’ concert presented by Music for Galway has become a tradition in Music for Galway’s concert season.
This year the concert with Mark Duley’s chamber choir Collegium at St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church falls on Good Friday, March 29 at 5pm.
With this concert Music for Galway (MfG) aims to give the opportunity to people of all faiths and none to take an hour from the hustle and bustle of their lives and sit in the calm of St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church, immersed in the sounds of Schola Cantorum’s chamber choir Collegium.
“Our Good Friday programme takes its title Salvator Mundi (saviour of the world) from the first movement of Herbert Howells’ poignant and moving Requiem, and explores the theme in other beautiful motets by Tallis, Philips, Ešenvalds and Dubra.” says director Mark Duley.
The Schola Cantorum’s flagship chamber choir Collegium takes its title from the ancient designation of the church dating back to 1486.
The choir comprises 16-20 singers depending on the type of project undertaken, and is made up of Galway’s finest choral singers.
Most members sing in one of the Schola’s other choirs and many also sing in other Galway choral ensembles.
Standard tickets cost €18.00 with concession €16.20 for people aged over 66, and €14 rate for MfG Friends.
Social inclusion tickets at €9 are available to children, students (full time), people in receipt of disability, carers and back-to-work allowance as well as to people seeking refuge and to refugees.
Tickets can be booked online at www.musicforgalway.ie or by calling 091705962.
Music for Galway gratefully acknowledges funding from the Arts Council, from Galway City Council.
