“His work that we will perform is his ‘Mass for Four Voices’ – a must-sing work for any choir. 2020 was the year in which we should have celebrated Bethoven’s 250th Anniversary, but COVID took care of that, so now we are delighted to perform some of his most beautiful pieces arranged for choir,” she said.
Special guests for the evening are Joel, Briana and Sheridan Reid. The accompanist is Bogumila Sokirko from Kenmare who is a highly accomplished pianist and teacher. Tickets are €15 available from St John’s Pastoral Centre and choir members.
