Internationally renowned soprano Ailish Tynan joins the ICO in celebrating Christmas at the Cathedral. She sings a host of favourites including Handel’s moving aria I Know That My Redeemer Liveth.

Ailish also sings a selection of best-loved traditional Christmas carols and the ICO Chorus, alongside the Irish Chamber Orchestra, add resonance to the occasion. Handel’s festive Op. 6 collection brims with a wealth of variety, colour, and dance rhythms and No. 7 does not disappoint. Barber’s much-loved Adagio for Strings is one of the most beautiful and recognizable works in the modern classical music canon. Mozart’s Divertimento in B-flat makes a vivacious return to the atmospheric Christmas mood alongside Haydn's fun-filled Toy Symphony which see the orchestra perform on some interesting instruments! Ailish trained at Trinity College, the Royal Irish Academy of Music and the Guildhall, London. She was a Vilar Young Artist at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and a BBC New Generation Artist. She is a former recipient of the Rosenblatt Recital Prize at BBC Cardiff Singer of the World. Don’t miss this festive roller-coaster in Limerick and Cork.
