New Dublin Voices to Perform Carols for Christmas

Multi-award-winning chamber choir New Dublin Voices is staying home for Christmas!

 

Home being Dublin, where New Dublin Voices is presenting all five of its Christmas concerts this year. 

 

Come in from the cold! Forget the IMF, take a break from Christmas shopping. Just sit back and listen to music that will warm you and take you back to what Christmas is all about: the Nativity, love and family, celebration, memories, happiness.

 

The range of music is huge, from church carols old and modern, to jazz and crooning, to audience carols and a few surprises. Our featured music this year is the sublime Four Christmas Motets by French composer Francis Poulenc. And at our Family Concerts in Draiocht (3pm only) and The Mill, Dundrum, there will be plenty of extras specially for kids ("from 1 to 92"!). In short, lots for everyone.

 

North-side, south-side, city-centre. Just pick one of our Dublin venues and come along for Christmas at home with New Dublin Voices with conductor Bernie Sherlock!

 

Carols for Christmas dates:

 

Friday, Dec. 10 NCH John Field Room, 1.05 pm (tel.: 01 417 0000)

Tuesday, Dec. 14 Christ Church Cathedral, 8 pm (tickets at door)

Saturday, Dec. 18 Draiocht (Blanchardstown Centre), 3 pm (Family Matinée) AND 8 pm (tel.: 01 885 2622)

Stuff and Nonsense

For this year's November concerts, the internationally acclaimed and award-winning chamber choir New Dublin Voices and their conductor Bernie Sherlock present Stuff and Nonsense, a celebration of the marriage of nonsense and music:

Friday Nov 19th Monkstown Parish Church, 8pm

Saturday Nov 20th Christ Church Cathedral, 8pm

Composers from the Renaissance to the present-day have been fascinated by nonsense and written wonderful music in response to some of the weirdest texts around.

New Dublin Voices explore the amazing amount of truth and value, art and entertainment, contained within nonsense, silliness and madness.

Highlights include: settings by Italian, Finnish, Hungarian (and English!) composers of verses and limericks by the grandfathers of nonsense, Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll. Ridiculous madrigals from the Renaissance. And Benjamin Britten's extraordinary Rejoice in the Lamb, a setting of unhinged but deeply compelling verse written in an insane asylum by the 18th century poet Christopher Smart (with David Adams, organ).

Saturday's concert will also include the launch of NDV's new Christmas CD.

Tickets €15 (€10 conc) available at the door.

New Dublin Voices Releases Debut CD

Up there with Ireland’s best and most exciting chamber choirs, New Dublin Voices has chosen Culture Night at the Back Loft to launch its eagerly anticipated debut CD, “Something Beginning With B”.

 

The event takes place early on Culture Night – 6pm in the Back Loft in La Catedral Studios, 7-11 St Augustine St [near Tivoli, Vicar St & NCAD). Come along for the buzz and a glass of wine – NDV will be there to sing a track or two from “Something Beginning With B”.

 

The rule for New Dublin Voices’ debut CD was that every track had to have a “B” in it: this means the Beatles are rubbing shoulders with Brahms and Benjamin Britten is neighbours with a barbershop quartet!

 

“Something Beginning With B” has a wide, wide mix of sounds and styles, something for everyone, and is a great sample of the world of New Dublin Voices to have on disc at home or in the car.
