Cappella Caeciliana will be singing Evensong in the National Cathedral in Washington DC (Friday 29th April at 5.30pm)
The choir will be presenting two concerts in Philadelphia, the first at Villanova University (Wednesday 27th April at 7.30pm), and the second at the Parish of St Malachy (Thursday 28th April at 7pm). Admission to both concerts is free and no tickets are required.
At each of these events, Cappella Caeciliana will perform a new work (‘Exsultet’) which they have commissioned from Neil Martin, a leading Irish composer whose work spans television, radio, theatre, concert stage and studio.
The full programmes for all three events are available online together with the Press releases for the Philadelphia area events, the Choral Evensong in Washington National Cathedral and the US performances of ‘Exsultet’.
The tour will be led by Donal McCrisken, Musical Director.
Cappella Caeciliana is one of Northern Ireland’s leading choirs, regularly performing in the Belfast area and beyond in both concert and liturgical settings. The choir has toured in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Rome, the tour of the USA is its most ambitious overseas visit so far.
