Award winning all female Irish choir ‘Diva Voces,’ is coming to St Andrew’s Church, Dublin, this Sunday June 10th at 5pm
Diva Voces is one of Ireland’s leading choirs, founded in 2006 by musical director Liz Powell.
This weekend the stunning choir will be performing Mozarts Spatzenmesse along with the world premier of Georgie Johnston’s ‘Prayer Before Starting’ & ‘Book of Changes,’ with text by Paula Meehan. In addition, there will be a number of guest soloists; Lynda Lee, Raphaela Mangan, Katy Kelly and Katie Mc Crea-Richardson, with orchestra led by David O’Doherty. The performance will be conducted and led by Duncan Brickenden. Duncan is gathering momentum establishing himself as a leading choral conductor in Dublin with several choirs under his baton including the RDS Jazz Singers and The Brook Singers.
This near 60 voice choir has a commitment to change the norms of the industry. The choir sets themselves apart from other traditional choirs, having a commitment to supporting diversity in the industry in the categories of sexuality, class and race, of married and single women and working.
This event is set to be moving ,empowering and like nothing we have seen before. Speaking exclusively to Hot Press, director Duncan Brickenden says; "creating a platform of collaboration for a rising, young female composer with an established, renowned Irish female poet strikes a chord in today's musical world where it is still dominated by men. Diva Voces and myself feel committed to making sure the amazing artistic talents in the field of music, especially young female artists, get heard and seen. Considering the current stories headlining in our media, this concert is important to everyone involved. Please support us and come hear some beautiful music."
