June 2009
The 55th Choral Festival truly presented something for everyone: from performances by just one solo singer to performances by a full choir and orchestra; performances in the Concert Hall at the City Hall, to performances in schools, libraries, even at the top of Shandon Steeple at sunrise; from night owls to early birds, traditionalists to modernists, the choral afictionado to the newcomer... As over 85 choirs from Mallow to Moscow brought the very best vocal music from across the world to every corner of Cork city and county for five days over the May bank holiday weekend.
