premiÈre of new mass by sEÁn doherty- commissioned by the 120 committee

At 11am Mass on Sunday 19th November 2023, Seán Doherty's new "Mass" was premièred by the Palestrina Choir, Organist Aleksandr Nisse, Soloist Nathan Phipps-O'Neill conducted by Blánaid Murphy. Monsignor Lorcan O'Brien was the Celebrant assisted by Deacon Tom Groves.
This was commissioned and fully funded by all the members of the 120 Committee.
This setting of the Mass is particularly evocative and sensitively written exploring the full range of dynamics and sonority of the Choir and of the organ at the Pro-Cathedral. It will certainly become a staple of the choir's Sunday repertoire. Thank you and many congratulations to Seán Doherty.
The première of this work was a very special moment in the celebrations of the Choir's 120th anniversary. 
                                  A live recording of the premi​ère will be available soon.
