Timeless polyphony at Casa da Música! It will be like music tapestry!

The Casa da Música Choir engages audiences on new ways to appreciate music with pieces by sixteenth century Iberian composers Manuel de Correia, Pedro de Cristo, Duarte Lobo and Tomás Luis de Victoria, a concert that combines opera and classical music with works by Irish composer David Fennessy, to create an exclusively original, memorable experience. On 17th November, at sala Suggia, at 6pm.

David Fennessy was born in Maynooth, Co Kildare, Ireland.
