This Good Friday at 5.00pm, St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church will again become a sanctuary to those who would like to take an hour away from the hustle and bustle of life, as Collegium, directed by Mark Duley, presents a programme of reflective music.
Collegium’s programme features two versions of the great penitential psalm Miserere mei Deus – Allegri’s famous 17th century setting, and a contemporary version (2009) by James MacMillan. These extended works are framed by shorter motets by a variety of composers in which the voice of the crucified Christ addresses the penitent believer directly, and to which the Miserere settings act as a response.
Inviting believers of all faiths and none to come together on this important day of the Christian calendar, this has become one of the most popular events of the Music for Galway concert season.
In memory of Seán and Norah Stewart.
Tickets: Standard €18 | Concession €16 | Social Inclusion €9 | MfG Friend €14
