New Dublin Voices, Stuff and Nonsense concert November 19, 2010

For this year's November concerts, the internationally acclaimed and award-winning chamber choir New Dublin Voices and their conductor Bernie Sherlock present Stuff and Nonsense, a celebration of the marriage of nonsense and music.

Highlights include: settings by Italian, Finnish, Hungarian (and English!) composers of verses and limericks by the grandfathers of nonsense, Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll. Ridiculous madrigals from the Renaissance. And Benjamin Britten's extraordinary Rejoice in the Lamb, a setting of unhinged but deeply compelling verse written in an insane asylum by the 18th century poet Christopher Smart (with David Adams, organ).

Tickets €15 (€10 conc) available at the door.
