Second in Tullamore International Summer Organ Series next week

Tuesday night, July 4, saw the first in the Tullamore International Organ Series 2023 in the Church of the Assumption.

On the renowned Frobenius organ, Charles Marshall played beautiful works by Joseph Rheinberger, Jehan Alain, Josep Muset and the incomparable Johan Sebastian Bach.

Charles has been Organist and Director of Music at St Ann's Church, Dawson St. Dublin since 2009 and has given organ recitals on all the great organs in Ireland.

The Tullamore Academy Chamber Choir, under the direction of Ciarán Brady, performed works by a wide variety of composers including Jake Runestad, Ēriks Ešenvalds, Arvo Pärt, Rihards Dubra, Eric Whitacre and Moses Hogan.

The Academy Chamber Choir was founded in September 2008 as part of a performing groups’ initiative undertaken by The Academy of Music in Tullamore. Under the leadership of Ciarán Brady, it has won numerous prizes and accolades in the intervening years.

It was a magical night for the large crowd.

On Tuesday night, July 11, at 8pm the organisers welcome the widely acclaimed French organist, David Cassan on his first visit to Ireland.

David is taking a few days out from a busy schedule performing as a soloist with prestigious ensembles (such as the Orchestre Philharmonique de Paris, Orchestre National de Lyon, Capitole de Toulouse, Chœur and Orchestre Symphonique de Paris). He has a vast repertoire, with a preference for J.S. Bach and French works of the 19th and 20th century. He is also brilliant and creative improviser and he will be showing off all his talent next Tuesday night.
