About this event
2024 is the centenary of the death of the Irish composer Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924). Born in Dublin to a very musical family he quickly became an accomplished young musician. Perhaps best known as the teacher of such great English composers as Vaughan Williams, Stanford is increasingly recognised as an important composer in his own right.
The ‘Weaver’, by Judith Ring, commissioned by The Guinness Choir was first performed in May 2022. And we are delighted to introduce our audience to the Irish premiere of ‘Cello Songs’ by the highly acclaimed US composer Jake Runestad.
The Guinness Choir and its professional Orchestra will be joined by soloists Caroline Behan, Sarah Luttrell, William Pearson, and Matthew Mannion.
