Mullingar Choral Society presents "War and Peace", reflecting commemoration of the "1916 Rising". The performances include "The Armed Man" (A Mass for Peace) by Karl Jenkins. This is a very moving and thought provoking piece depicting war in all its aspects. Other pieces include "Clare's Dragoons" by Irish composer Aloys Fleischman, 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky and "Agnus Dei" by Samuel Barber.

Accompanying us on this occasion will be the City of Dublin Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Fergus O'Carroll and Thomas Kehoe. Helen Hassett (Soprano), Jeffrey Ledwidge (Bass) and other soloists will also accompany us in the Cathedral of Christ the King Mullingar on Sunday, 6th March at 8pm.

The event is sponsered by Mulingar Credit Union and supported by Westmeath County Council and the Department of Arts Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
