Art and Music on a Marian Theme with Guest Lecturer and Curator of British Art at the National Gallery of Ireland: Adrian le Harivel, promises to be an informative overview of how the Blessed Virgin Mary has been depicted and worshipped in both Art and Music.

The evening will cover six areas:
  1. Origins of Marian Worship
  2. The Marian Feasts
  3. Purification of the Virgin and Candlemas
  4. Lady Chapel and Specific Worship
  5. Seven Joys of the Virgin
  6. Marian Protection
Interspersed throughout these examples of Marian Art, the Palestrina Choir will provide a fitting musical backdrop all enveloped in the wonderful setting of St Mary's Pro-Cathedral. Everyone will also be invited to the wine reception after this wonderful event.
Please reserve your spot at Eventbrite.

At today's vespers the boys sang Britten's 'Balulalow' and Reger's 'Maria Wiegenlied' beautifully. Amongst the congregation was a very familiar face for the boys, it was none other than the Choir's former manager: Germaine Carlos! All the boys were delighted to see her and they were even more delighted to get to talk to her during their teas afterwards! Unfortunately, it was a bittersweet moment saying goodbye again...but I don't think it will be too long before they see her again!
