Tradition and innovation, a much-quoted slogan these days, and let’s face it, there is no innovation without tradition. Kodály Choir Debrecen’s concert invites the audience on an exciting journey, pairing repertoire pieces (from the Renaissance to late Romanticism) with 20th and 21st century works, showing that reinvention is impossible without roots.
What does the Italian Renaissance master and the Japanese composer in his 60s think of the same Latin prayer? Or how does an English composer today use the same harmonic sequence that her predecessor wrote almost a century earlier? This time, the Kodály Choir Debrecen’s programme is conducted by their guest conductor, the Irishman Bernie Sherlock, founder of the multi-award-winning New Dublin Voices and director of the Irish Youth Choir, who conducts courses around the world.
The concert, “A Guest at the Kodály Choir”, is open to the public on the 14th of March, at 7.00 p.m. at the Kölcsey Centre.
