3. Foodie destination
Kork smager fantastisk! Det er ikke overraskende, at det er blevet defineret Irlands fødevarehovedstad, thanks to a perfect combination of high quality local products and a multitude of creative and passionate chefs. Take a stroll to the centuries-old English Market or enjoy the city’s many cafes and restaurants. Don’t miss the choral performances at the outdoor Festival Market in Emmet Place on the Festival weekend, and let the Festival’s Mad & drikke spor inspire you for your meal stops![vc_single_image media=”16749″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”80″ alignment=”center”]
4. En uventet arv
Mærk byens kulturelle og kunstneriske puls, og nyd de mange historiske bygninger og katedraler i Cork-området ved Festival Choral Trail og Fringe Concerts. Cork er hjemsted for talrige skatte, store monumenter eller lidet kendte ædelstene that can be discovered wandering the city streets and exploring its County. St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, the Cathedral of St Mary & St Anne, Triskel Christchurch, Blackrock Castle, Blarney Castle, St Colman’s Cathedral in Cobh, the Methodist Church in Kinsale – These are only some of the gorgeous spillesteder som du kan besøge, mens du lytter til noget fin kormusik!
Mens du deltager i festivalen, tag også chancen for at opdage Irlands gamle øst og besøg steder fyldt med skæve og mindeværdige oplevelser. Med de tilgængelige kort og rejseplaner her as your inspiration, you will discover a region of legends and stories, from ancient times to modern day.[vc_single_image media=”16751″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”80″ alignment=”center”]
5. Et farverigt Amt
The colour green is closely associated with Ireland and St. Patrick’s Day, but Ireland is much more colourful than that! Cork’s building cover the full colour wheel. No one is sure of the origin of painting houses in bright colours. One theory is that fishermen used what was left over from painting their boats. Discover Cork City and County while attending the Festival, and take home with you memories (and, why not, also photos) of nogle af de lyseste og mest farverige steder i landet![vc_single_image media=”16759″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”80″ alignment=”center”]
6. Korsjov for hele familien
The Festival makes the perfect occasion for everyone to enjoy choral music at the Festival’s many gratis arrangementer. Især Eftermiddag i Atriet have become a very popular Festival feature and are the perfect setting for families and festival goers who want to relax in the hotel’s bright atrium and experience the Festival atmosphere in full flow. Afternoons in the Atrium provides a weekend of energetic and entertaining performances by national and international choirs in the fresh, modern setting of the Clayton Hotel.[vc_single_image media=”16770″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”80″ alignment=”center”]

8. At lære er seriøst sjovt
Vi mener, at alle skal have mulighed for at synge i Festivalen! Til dette påtager festivalen hvert år en række (gratis!) uddannelsesprogrammer specielt udviklet til at udvide adgangen til både nybegyndere og erfarne. Slut dig til os i 2020 for Den store synger og Korsymposium, da Cork International Choral Festival fortsætter med at skubbe udviklingen og rækkevidden af kormusik fremad. At synge sammen med andre kan bringe mennesker sammen på en unik måde og giver en uovertruffen feel-good faktor![vc_single_image media=”16771″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”80″ alignment=”center”]
9. A Festive city and home of incredible “craic”
Cork er stolt af sine kunstneriske og musikalske traditioner, velsignet med et veletableret festligt temperament, og er en livlig og sprudlende by. Slut dig til os for nogle great “craic” during the Festival week! If you have no idea of what “craic” means, you may feel better knowing that everyone new to Ireland wonders at its meaning when they first hear it. “The craic” (it’s pronounced sprække) is one of the best-known terms in Ireland, however, some say is indefinable. The closest you get is “fun” (her du kan læse mere om de øverste niveauer af craic, du kan nå).
If you are attending the Festival, you don’t want to miss the Festivalklub! It is the perfect place to kick back and relax with festival choirs and guests (free entrance). There is something for everyone, depending on whether you are in the mood to sing, dance, drink or mingle your way into the small hours![vc_single_image media=”16772″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”80″ alignment=”center”]
10. Betagende udsigt
We hope that we proved that Cork has got a hell of a lot more than that postcard scenery, but, yes – we agree that when you think about Ireland, its naturlige vidundere er nok det første, der dukker op. County Cork er hjemsted for nogle af de mest fantastiske landskaber i verden, stretching from smart south-coast Kinsale to three rugged westerly peninsulas (Mizen Head, Sheep’s Head and Beara) reaching into the wild Atlantic. While attending the Festival, take some time to discover the lush landscape surrounding Cork![vc_single_image media=”16783″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”80″ alignment=”center”]If you are interested in participating in the 2020 Cork International Choral Festival with a choir, a group, or as an independent visitor, don’t hesitate to get in touch at info@corkchoral.ie.
