About this event

Led by Guest Director, Gabriel Crouch, Chamber Choir Ireland examines issues of homelessness, displacement, and belonging.

Led by Gabriel Crouch, Chamber Choir Ireland examines issues of homelessness, displacement, and belonging.

In the title work, 'Forgotten Peoples', Veljo Tormis attempted to preserve the musical heritage of the minority groups that live along the shores of the Gulf of Finland, whose languages and ways of life are in danger of disappearing.

Michael Gordon's 'Anonymous Man' follows the composer's changing New York changing, from industrial warehouse district to residential area, and the impact on his unhoused neighbours.

The programme will also feature world premieres of new commissions by Emma O'Halloran (Ireland) and Francisco del Piño (Argentina).
