In the closing concert of Louth Contemporary Music Society's summer festival, Chamber Choir Ireland performs music of peace, strangeness, and hope.

Led by Guest Director, Nils Schweckendiek, the programme features a setting of words by St John of the Cross to unearthly harmonies by Kevin Volans, and a new meditation by Canadian composer, Sarah Davachi.

"Like so much of today’s choral music, the programme echoes the prayers of long ago and asks: Can these be our prayers too?"
