Bach, performed by Thomas Herford (tenor), Sestina Vocal Ensemble, Madrigal ’75 and the Cork Baroque Orchestra.

On Sunday, there will be a performance of some of the Baroque repertoire’s best choruses for choir and orchestra, performed by local ensembles following coaching and workshops with East Cork Early Music artists. This concert takes place at 3.30pm in the Curtis Auditorium.

The festival concludes on Sunday night in St Peter’s, North Main Street, Cork, with a concert titled Flipside, featuring the premiere of a newly commissioned string quartet by Irish composer Sebastian Adams, electronic folk music from Simon MacHale, and counter-tenor Mark Chambers introduces the seventeenth-century version of jazz riffs with an exploration of ground basses.
