Dublin Bach Cantatas 2026: Concert 9

at St Ann’s Church, Dawson Street

Concert 9: Sunday 15th February 2026 • 3:30pm

Artistic Director: Blánaid Murphy

Dublin has a long and rich history of performing Johann Sebastian Bach’s sacred cantatas. Sunday afternoons at St Ann’s Church, Dawson Street were home to John Beckett’s ten-year series in the 1970s, with luminary soloists such as Bernadette Greevy, Frank Patterson and Irené Sandford. In the early 2000s, Lindsay Armstrong and the Orchestra of St. Cecilia took up the mantle, performing all of the cantatas from 2001 to 2010. Now, following a run of sold-out concerts in 2024 and 2025, the series returns under the artistic direction of conductor Blánaid Murphy, one of Ireland’s foremost interpreters of Bach.
