The âMusic for Good Fridayâ concert presented by Music for Galway has
become a tradition in Music for Galwayâs concert season.
This year the concert with Mark Duleyâs chamber choir Collegium at St.
Nicholasâ Collegiate Church falls on Good Friday, March 29 at 5pm.
With this concert Music for Galway (MfG) aims to give the opportunity to
people of all faiths and none to take an hour from the hustle and bustle
of their lives and sit in the calm of St. Nicholasâ Collegiate Church,
immersed in the sounds of Schola Cantorumâs chamber choir Collegium.
âOur Good Friday programme takes its title Salvator Mundi (saviour of the
world) from the first movement of Herbert Howellsâ poignant and
moving Requiem, and explores the theme in other beautiful motets by
Tallis, Philips, EĆĄenvalds and Dubra.â says director Mark Duley.
The Schola Cantorumâs flagship chamber choir Collegium takes its title
from the ancient designation of the church dating back to 1486.
The choir comprises 16-20 singers depending on the type of project
undertaken, and is made up of Galwayâs finest choral singers.
Most members sing in one of the Scholaâs other choirs and many also sing
in other Galway choral ensembles.
Standard tickets cost âŹ18.00 with concession âŹ16.20 for people aged over
66, and âŹ14 rate for MfG Friends.
Social inclusion tickets at âŹ9 are available to children, students (full
time), people in receipt of disability, carers and back-to-work allowance
as well as to people seeking refuge and to refugees.
