A very happy if belatedly reported (by us) piece of news from Nigel Short and his exceptional choral ensemble Tenebrae: the group plans to celebrate their 15th anniversary with performances of Joby's "epic choral symphony", Path of Miracles, in as many international locales as possible. This blog post published by Nigel on the piece's 1oth anniversary announces their intent and also gives some background to the piece's premiere.
Path of Miracles in Ireland
Joby's 2005 a cappella work Path of Miracles, describing the latter stages of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, will have two performances in Ireland this month. Máire Keary-Scanlon will lead choral group Caminantes in performances on Easter Monday at St Mary's Cathedral, Limerick, and on 18 April at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin. Both performances begin at 8pm and the piece lasts one hour.
More information can be found on Caminantes' Facebook page.
