RSCM Ireland to Host Televised Service This Month
RSCM (Royal School of Church Music) Ireland has announced that they will host the RTE One television Sunday morning worship programme which will air on Sunday November 22 at 11.10 am on RTE One and again at 11.45 am on RTE LW 252 Radio and RTE Radio One extra.
The service will be led by the RSCM Ireland coordinator (and Church of Ireland Lay Minister), Mark Bowyer (pictured) and will be sung by choristers who have recently been involved in the Voice for Life awards scheme. The choir will be directed by Bla?naid Murphy (St Mary’s Pro– cathedral, Dublin) and will be accompanied by Tristan Russcher (St Bartholomew’s Church, Dublin).
Speaking on behalf of RSCM Ireland, Mark Bowyer said, “We hope that you will be able to join us for this act of worship which will celebrate the Feast of St Cecilia, patron saint of musicians and church music. It will also see the performance of ‘The Language of Birds’, a piece specially commissioned for RSCM Ireland and written by Irish composer Eoghan Desmond”.
“We are delighted to have been asked to host this service, which will highlight the work of the RSCM in Ireland and the importance of maintaining high standards in church music which are delivered each week by many talented and enthusiastic church musicians across the country,” he added.
