Mount scopus amphitheatre. Photo: Samuel Green Catholic choir members are being asked to sing in Jerusalem for Israel’s 70th anniversary in a celebration on May 14, the day Israel was declared a state.
The 100 piece choir will sing Irish composer Cormac O’Duffy’s oratorio ‘Hear! O Israel’ at the Mount Scopus Amphitheatre overlooking the Judean desert.
Mr O’Duffy has dreamt of the concert for many years, and in order to recognise the patrimony between Christians and Jews he is consulting with partners in Jerusalem to have a special memorial stone unveiled, enscribed: “I am Joseph, your brother” on the day.
