The Luminosa String Orchestra will present a candlelit concert in the city’s St Nicholas’ Collegiate Church next Thursday, September 22.
Athrú (Change) is the title of the second concert in Luminosa’s Éirí season, and according to the group’s Executive Director, Lucy Hayward O’ Leary, its programme is “inspired by the personal transformations we have all undergone.
“After journeying through Covid times, through tragic times of loss and transfiguration, the music we have selected reflects on transformation, both internally within pieces of music and on a greater scale, between teachers and students, between a composer’s young self and the ultimate realisation of himself; and between centuries during which many pandemics, wars, political upheavals and challenges abounded”, she says.
The concert will begin with John Dowland’s Lachrimae Verae (True Tear), the last of the Seven Teares, published in 1604.
