A hauntingly beautiful festive concert from All Saints Church in Castleconnell kicks of the month of December as we all look forward to Christmas 2020.
Coming to you from the wonderful setting of the church, which has played host to the Castleconnell Autumn Concert Series for over a decade, Moley Ó Súilleabháin will bring his unique style and interpretation of age-old songs right into your living room.
The concert has been recorded due to the uncertainty around restrictions due to Covid-19.
It will be available from Tuesday 01 December at 8pm on Limerick.ie here.
Coincidentally called ‘All Saints’, the concert is a unique mix of sacred and secular song and poetry from one of Ireland's finest singers. Incorporating the seasonal theme of Advent and Christmas with Latin Gregorian chant, Irish Sean Nós, traditional song, and poetic recitation.
Moley has specially curated this program of pieces that has illuminated his artistic and musical life to date. The poems are all from Mícheál’s latest poetry book called Early Music.
