Soprano Moynihan tackles Vivaldi cantatas

Cork-born soprano Deirdre Moynihan has an enviable CV, and is now releasing her first CD — a selection of Vivaldi cantatas on the classical Naxos label.

The acclaimed baroque soloist’s recent concert performances have included a guest appearance with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra at the National Concert Hall, for their programme of Christmas classics, and an intimate performance of Christmas favourites at Dublin Castle.

Last autumn, she sang the voice of the doll for the premiere of Raymond Deane’s opera, The Alma Fetish, with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra at the National Concert Hall, and premiered a new work, A State of Light, by Bill Whelan/Michael Cody, for string quartet and soprano at The Clifden Arts Festival.
