Inspired by Hildegard of Bingen, immerse yourself in the world premiere of Blood which Fennessy suggests is “something visceral, tangible and flowing”. In this concertante for violin, voices and orchestra, explore how Katherine Hunka's violin conveys the emotional world of the text as sung while the orchestra acts as a resonating chamber for everything in between.

Mozart’s unfinished, yet emotionally charged Requiem was composed on the edge of consciousness. Be profoundly moved by this epic which brims with drama, hope and redemption. Feel how Mozart grapples with the mystery of death willing his final creation into life with his last breaths – experience the heartache and the genius.


(This concert will be recorded for future broadcast on RTÉ Lyric fm)



Mozart Requiem is part of Zeitgeist Irland 24, an initiative of Culture Ireland and the Embassy of Ireland in Germany.
