THE third programme of the โ€˜Before Bach and Afterโ€™ series comes to St Maryโ€™s Cathedral this Thursday May 2 at 8pm. Chamber Choir Ireland presents a programme that alternates two Bach motets, a cantata and a fugue. This concert offers contemporary works by Julia Wolfe, Santa Ratniece and Anne Boyd as well as a vocal re-working ofย Bachโ€™s Fuga V.

โ€œThis adaptation shifts the focus of the texts and indeed the musical inspiration significantly beyond and away from the Western tradition,โ€ reports the choirโ€™s conductor, Paul Hillier.
