The Guinness Choir – Mozart Requiem and Mass in C Minor

This event has ended

St Patrick's Cathedral, Saturday 1st April

Conducted by Ciarán Kelly with soloists Kelli-Ann Masterson, Soprano, Megan O’Neill, Soprano, Leanne Fitzgerald, Alto, Andrew Gavin, Tenor, and Rory Dunne, Bass.

This is a rare opportunity to experience and enjoy Mozart’s two great masterpieces in one concert.

The Requiem was Mozart’s final work, composed in the short period before his death in December 1791. He was only 35. Though completed by others in his circle, Mozart, as with the Mass in C Minor, which he had mostly written by the mid 1780s, captures the drama and visceral emotion of the liturgy.

Though much scholarly debate continues as to who completed the pieces, there is no escaping the magnificence and virtuosic demands of both, such that generations of artists have been inspired by these great masterpieces ever since. Don’t miss the dramatic and hopeful beauty that this opportunity presents.

Paul Weller

Fairview Park

Over the course of a career that extends back five decades, the songs of Paul Weller are woven into the tapestry of British music. His body of work stands comparison with formative heroes such as John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ray Davies – a canon that takes in a total of 28 studio albums. And while it’s tempting to dwell on past achievements – the Brit Awards, the Ivor Novellos and the number one albums (eight in total), Weller’s avowed credo leads him to view his creative past rather like a motorist might look in the rear-view mirror – foot on the pedal, in constant forward motion
