Heritage Week Concerts: Mezzo Soprano & Piano

Join us this Heritage Week for a series of early evening recitals given by members of the Cathedral’s Music Department.

Our second recital features the stunning vocalist that is Sarah Thursfield, accompanied on the piano by David O’Shea.

Sarah is a contralto/mezzo-soprano originally from Dublin, Ireland. Currently a student of Dutch soprano Judith Mok, her recent solo performances include Elgar’s The Light of Life, Duruflé’s Requiem, Bach’s St John Passion, Mozart’s Requiem, Bach’s Mass in B-minor, Handel’s Messiah and Stanford’s Stabat Mater with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra in June 2024.

Sarah is an experienced choral musician, and is a member of ensembles such as Chamber Choir Ireland, Sestina Music and Resurgam. In 2020, she had the pleasure of being appointed as the first female Lay Vicar at St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin, where she currently holds the post of Vicar of the Prebendary of Swords.
