architecture, and featuring a stunning labyrinth of domes, chambers and tunnels, Mirazozo
is packed with enchanting spaces and beguiling light effects. Its the perfect place to play,

Composed over 25 years towards the end of the composers life, the Mass in B minor
(BWV 232) is the culmination of Bachs spiritual journey and one of the crowning glories
of Western music. The piece was last performed at the Festival some 30 years ago by
Malcolm Proud and Maya Homburgers Kilkenny Arts Week Baroque Ensemble: an early
incarnation of Camerata Kilkenny. This year, in a unique collaboration for the Festival,
Camerata Kilkenny joins forces with Chamber Choir Ireland the countrys flagship
choral ensemble for a one-off performance of the Mass under the direction of Paul
Hillier, one of Europes most distinguished choral conductors. From the dramatic Kyrie
to the sublime Agnus Dei, this special performance by two world-class ensembles in
St Canices is set to be a highlight of the 42nd Festival.

Its more than 20 years since songwriter and multiinstrumentalist Chris Franck and DJ Patrick Forge joined
forces and set about redefining Brazilian music, marrying
samba rhythms to Nu Jazz to produce something stylish
and irresistible. Blending their own original material with
dazzling remixes of everyone from Bebel Gilberto to Sly
and Robbie, Da Lata have been in a class of their own ever
since. Four albums into a musical journey that has taken
them through everything from Afrobeat to hip-hop, with a
touch of electronica and house, they bring their pulsating
live show to Kilkenny with six musicians, Latin tempos and
irresistible grooves. Bring your dancing shoes!

Clavier bung III (often called the German Organ Mass) is one
of the pinnacles of music written for the king of instruments.
The work follows the form of the Lutheran mass, ranging across
an astonishing variety of forms and styles to present a profound
mediation on faith. Taking on this masterpiece is artist in residence
Malcolm Proud, a regular performer at the Festival since its first
edition in 1974. His interpretations of Bach have gained widespread
acclaim, with his recording of this work hailed as a major
achievement (The Organ Magazine).

Bachs six Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord are seminal works which
point towards a new era in classical music. Moving from the older trio
sonata to a form which assigns the three musical lines between the violin
and the two hands of the keyboard player, these sonatas created a genre
which Mozart, Beethoven and others would take to fresh heights. These
two lunchtime concerts in St Johns offer a rare opportunity to hear the
full cycle of these marvellous sonatas performed by Maya Homburger and
Malcolm Proud, Festival artists in residence whose recording of the sonata
cycle was released to great acclaim in 2008.

Alexander Lingas
Canada/Greece
In parallel with the performances of
Bastard Amber, co-commissioned by the
Festival and inspired in part by Yeats
great poem Sailing to Byzantium, two
talks explore visions of that ancient city.
In the first of these, Alexander Lingas
uncovers the lost traditions of Byzantine
music. When Constantinople fell to the
Ottomans in 1453, sacred Byzantine
chant (the eastern sibling of Gregorian chant) was lost and
almost forgotten. Lingas founder and Artistic Director of
Cappella Romana, an ensemble celebrated for its recordings
of this repertoire takes us in search of the sacred music
that was heard in Hagia Sophia, the great church built by
the Emperor Justinian in the same century in which Canice
founded his monastic settlement at Kilkenny.

The Musical Offering for harpsichord and chamber
instruments BWV 1079
Duration 55 mins approx.
In 1747, when Bach was finally admitted to the presence
of Frederick the Great of Prussia, the king played a
theme and commanded Bach to improvise a fugue,
which he did in a manner that astonished those present.
Bach followed this feat by composing one of the
pinnacles of his art: The Musical Offering, a collection of
works all based on that same theme. On the final day of
the Festival, ensemble in residence Camerata Kilkenny
perform this mysterious late masterpiece, which they
recorded in 2011 to great critical acclaim.

Meta-Perceptual Helmets
Cleary Connolly Ireland
Have you ever wondered how the world looks from the point of view
of a hammerhead shark, with its hyper-stereo vision? How about
a horse, which has exceptional peripheral vision? Or a chameleon,
which can look backwards and forwards at the same time?
Now, thanks to artists Anne Cleary and Denis Connolly, you can find
out. Cleary Connolly have developed a series of wearable sculptures
called Meta-Perceptual Helmets helmets that enable you to see
what an animal sees. Drop into Rothe House every day during the
festival, where you can try on a range of helmets for creatures both
real and imaginary and wander around the gardens, transforming
yourself into a living, moving sculpture to see and be seen.
At once playful and serious, Meta-Perceptual Helmets is an innovative
and interactive exhibition that meets arts greatest challenge to
make us see the world afresh.

Nine Lives is an exhibition showcasing the work of a new generation of architects who, together with
curator Emmett Scanlon, were selected to represent Ireland at three international architecture festivals
in 2015, as part of the New Horizon_architecture from Ireland initiative. These exciting young architects
collaborate across disciplines to develop new modes of practice for the 21st century.
The exhibition presents extracts from the ongoing life stories of nine rooms stories that were made
concrete through architectural design and continue to develop through occupation and use. Moments
from each rooms story are presented here side by side, using photographs and drawings. Featuring
the work of acclaimed architects TAKA, Clancy Moore, Hall McKnight, Steve Larkin, GKMP, A2, Ryan
Kennihan, AP+E, Urban Agency and Emmett Scanlon, Nine Lives is a fascinating contribution to the
ongoing story of how we design and use built space.
New Horizon_architecture from Ireland forms part of Irish Design 2015 (ID2015), a year-long initiative
backed by the Irish government exploring, promoting and celebrating Irish design throughout Ireland
and internationally.
