MUSIC: BACH IS BACK!
For the first time in over a decade there will be a revival of J.S. Bach Church Cantatas with three performances in St Ann's Church on Dawson Street. As you may know during his tenure as Director of Music at St Thomas Church in Leipzig, Bach was required to compose a new work for each Sunday. Could you imagine that happening nowadays? Blanaid Murphy, one of Ireland’s most eminent interpreters of Bach is conducting the concerts (St Ann's Church, Dublin, Sunday 28th January, 4th February and 11th February 2024)

The cast includes the legendary Fionnula Flanagan alongside Norma Sheahan, Denis Conway and rising star Sade Malone in the title role - RTÉ Arena takes a deep dive below (Gaiety Theatre, 27 January - 16 March 2024)
