Mornington Singers, conductor Orla Flanagan and organist David Leigh will take listeners on a choral journey exploring our human existence in different spheres - earthly, spiritual, celestial, and alien. The choir will perform music by living European composers Eoghan Desmond, Arvo Pärt, Nana Forte and Judith Bingham alongside works by Elgar, Stanford, Parry and Vaughan Williams with texts contemplating our place in the world, from Newman's 'link in a chain' through Shakespeare's 'great globe' to Milton's 'Sphere-born harmonious sisters, Voice and Verse'.

Pipeworks 

Since 1980 Pipeworks has mounted fifteen major ten-day festivals, centred on the International Organ Competition which attracts young virtuosi from every corner of the world. These festivals have secured Ireland a respected position in the international organ-playing scene and enhanced the appreciation of Irish audiences for the King of Instruments, its unique and thrilling repertoire and the extraordinary talent of its players.

With the new artistic director David Leigh at the helm, Pipeworks continues to explore Ireland’s organ heritage, and develop an education and outreach programme designed to introduce people to the organ, nurturing young talent and helping local communities showcase their own instruments. Pipeworks continues to present ground-breaking series of complete works, including those of J.S. Bach, Felix Mendelssohn, Dieterich Buxtehude and Olivier Messiaen, as well as the complete organ symphonies of Louis Vierne; all given by organists resident in Ireland.
