Worship Course, 2007
Encouraged by the success of the Living Worship course in music, liturgy and worship earlier this year, the Diocesan Church Music Committee will run a similar course on four Saturday mornings during January and February 2007. Designed to help (in particular) in-post musicians, singers, lay readers, clergy, these four Saturday morning seminars will offer a mix of theory and practice — including lots of singing. The principles of Christian worship and the structure of the Eucharist and other services will be looked at again, with a particular focus on a specific season of the Church's year. The use of space when presenting the liturgy will be explored and the final session will be held in a church that has re-modelled its interiorto reflect contemporary insights into worship.Dates and details will be announced in September.
Carol Competition
To celebrate their 20th anniversary, the Priory Singers are launching a carol competition for young musicians between 11 and 21 years. Prizes: £200, £150 and £100. The closing date for entries is the 23rd September. Rules and entry forms may be obtained onthe website http://www.thepriorysingersbelfast.com/.
Summer Evenings in Dún Laoghaire
The Summer Sunday evening organ recitals in St Michael’s Church, Dún Laoghaire have been a feature of Dublin musical life since 1974. This year’s series started on 11 June with a concert by Raymond O’Donnell and the Galway Baroque Playersand continues every Sunday evening at 8.30 until 3 September.
The list of recitalists since 1974 is impressive. Almost 200 names from twenty countries – about one-third from Ireland. Newcomers this year are Bernard Winsemius (Netherlands), Bartosz Jakubczak (Poland) and Heinrich Christensen (Boston, USA). David Connolly (organ scholar, Pro-Cathedral, Dublin) will make his début recital in the series and the remaining slotswill befilled by Irish organists. The organ in St Michael’s isa two-manual, tracker-action instrument built in 1974 by Rieger Orgelbau, Austria
There is a social aspect to these concerts. A small group plus soloistsalwayscontinues the evening in a local pub. A great opportunity to meet other organists. So, if you are free, do consider experiencing these relaxing and convivial Sunday evenings near the sea, perhaps preceded by a walk down the pier!
