West Cork Choral Singers and the newly formed West Cork Ukrainian Choir performed to a packed church. The choirs performed together in their own and different languages as well as sharing works from their own traditions. Many thanks to Canon John Ardis and the Abbeystrewry Union for their hospitality and to all who helped to make this such a successful evening.
An audience member commented on the opening six-part canon by Praetorious, where the two choirs sang from different sides of the church, as “A beautiful and enveloping sound that seemed to come from everywhere at once. A wonderful opening to a lovely evening.”
