Mendelssohn: A Homage to Bach
Celebrating the 200th anniversary of Mendelssohn's birth, Pipeworks presents a series of choral and organ works exploring the link between Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and J. S. Bach.
The series features organists David Leigh, Peter Barley, David Adams and David Connolly - all Pipeworks Artistic Associates; two performances also features the Mornington Singers, directed by another Pipeworks Artistic Associate, Orla Flanagan.
Between the 22nd September and 1 October the series of four concerts will take place in St Audoen's Church (RC), High Street, Dublin 8, where there is a fine 1864 Walker organ of suitable vintage for this programme.
Please see the events page for full details.

About PipeworksFrom its beginnings in 1980 as the Dublin International Organ & Choral Festival, Pipeworks has brought to Irish audiences a diverse programme of music-making with the organ at its centre, fully exploiting not only the wonderful range of instruments to be found in Dublin but the splendid cathedrals, churches and concert halls which house them. Pipeworks mounts a triennial ten-day festival, the most recent, which took place from 20-29 June 2008. |
