| The Black Abbey, Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Ireland Sunday 11-Aug-13 02:00pm Ensemble Marsyas: Handel and the Dresden Court Admission
€18/€16
Ensemble Marsyas only formed in 2011, but its members have been playing together for years. They first met in the European Union Baroque Orchestra (which delighted St Canice’s in 2011) and since joining forces the ensemble has established itself at the forefront of baroque music. They’ve played all over Europe, and this afternoon they gather in Kilkenny for an intriguing programme ranging from the Frog Galliard – one of the most popular pieces of Renaissance composer and lutenist John Dowland – to the baroque stylings of Handel and his lesser-known but talented compatriot, Johann Friedrich Fasch. Featuring Irish “ace bassoonist” (The Irish Times) Peter whelan, this is a wonderful chance to catch one of the freshest and most exciting new baroque ensembles in Europe Dowland, John (1563-1626), Pavane Lute solo | ||

St Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny Dawn Upshaw and Gilbert Kalish Kilkenny Arts Festival |
|
| ||
| St Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Ireland Wednesday 14-Aug-13 08:00pm Dawn Upshaw and Gilbert Kalish Tickets: Full €40, Concession €35 Few singers can boast, alongside four Grammy awards, a “genius” Fellowship from the MacArthur Foundation for “enriching the landscape of contemporary music”, but Dawn Upshaw is no ordinary soprano. Even before she appeared on Henryk Górecki’s million-selling Symphony No. 3 in the early 1990s, Upshaw was feted both for the quality of her voice and for her rare ability to cut to the heart of the music. She might have been forgiven for resting on her laurels and yet, over a career spanning more than two decades, she has developed a reputation as a tireless innovator, embracing everything from Bach to Broadway show tunes while working with cutting-edge contemporary composers like Kaija Saariaho and Donnacha Dennehy. For her first ever solo recital in Ireland Upshaw will perform an intriguing programme of songs by Charles Ives, Bela Bartok, Maurice Ravel, Franz Schubert and Bolcom and will be accompanied by her long-time collaborator Gilbert Kalish. | ||

These days he combines an international career as a harpsichordist and pianist with a senior lectureship at Waterford Institute of Technology. He’s returned to the festival many times, as a solo performer and with the Irish Baroque Orchestra and Camerata Kilkenny (which he founded with Maya Homburger), often performing in St Canice’s, where he is organist and choirmaster, but this afternoon he comes to St John’s Priory for a solo harpsichord recital featuring Bach’s Partita No. 6, one of his final harpsichord suites Image credit: Kilkenny Arts Festival | ||

The recording of Grá agus Bás, featuring works by Donnacha Dennehy and performed by Iarla Ó Lionáird and Dawn Upshaw, was released in 2011 to international acclaim.

|
| ||
| St Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Ireland Saturday 17-Aug-13 08:00pm Kilkenny Festival Chorus, Fergus Sheil - Conductor Tickets: Full €30, Concession €26
In just three years, the Kilkenny Arts Festival Choir and Orchestra has established itself as one of the must-see events in our annual programme, drawing packed crowds to St Canice’s for its spectacular end-of-festival performances. But this year we’ve gone further – much further! To mark our 40th birthday, and to celebrate The Gathering, Kilkenny Arts Festival has flung open its doors and invited singers from all over the globe to take part in our most ambitious choral event yet. Gathering Voices brings 150 international singers from more than 20 countries to Kilkenny for a very special performance. After an intensive week of workshops and rehearsals under the watchful eye of conductor Fergus Sheil, a truly international Kilkenny Arts Festival Choir will perform one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century music: Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. Based on the eponymous collection of mediaeval poems celebrating the transience of life, the fickleness of fortune, and the joys and sorrows of drinking, gluttony, gambling and lust, Orff’s cantata finds its perfect setting in the 13th century cathedral of St Canice’s, and this unique performance will bring the festival to an unforgettable climax.
