Madrigal '75 warmly invites you to join us for our first concert after the summer break in the St. Finbarr’s South Parish Church, Dunbar Street, Cork on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 3:00pm.
Our programme, Lux Aeterna, opens with Cantata BWV 150, Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich by Johann Sebastian Bach, featuring instrumentalists and soloists from the MTU Cork School of Music. The work, believed to have been composed when Bach was in his early twenties, is in seven movements, featuring verses taken from Psalm 25, interspersed with poetic texts by unknown librettists.
Also featured in the programme is a stunning setting of Sara Teasdale’s evocative poem, Give me your Stars by Lucy Walker, and Christian Heiß’s spirited folksong arrangement of Es führt über den Main. We conclude with Brian Schmidt’s ethereal work, Lux Aeterna, a truly heavenly ending to our short concert.
The concert starts at 3:00pm and will last about 35 minutes.
Admission is free, with a retiring collection in support of St. Finbarr’s South Parish. We would love to see you there to hear us perform some sublime choral music for voices and instruments in one of Cork’s oldest churches!
