Commissioned by #KAF50 during Covid and stunningly performed by Kilkenny’s newest residents in the careful hand and ever- inspiring imagination of John Scott What a joy to see it realised for this 50th KilkennyArtsFestival I sense it will have a long life! #dance #MigrationSonata
So looking forward to this performance from our great friends & collaborators Chamber Choir Ireland including Pärt’s O Holy Father Nicholas written for the reopening of St N at Ground Zero,NY, Shaw’s How to Fold the Wind @ Rhona Clarke’s simply stunning Requiem #KAF50 KilkennyArtsFestival
This is the very best of RTÉ - the always brilliant RTÉConcertOrchestra with new work commissioned from neil martin with Ciarán Hinds and Iarla O'Lionaird conducted by #Broph and led by Mia Cooper. A joy for KilkennyArtsFestival to have them back in the Marble City❤️❤️❤️ #PublicServiceBroadcasting
What a privilege to witness #DruidOCasey yesterday Abbey Theatre - as lively and urgent as ever, O’Casey’s Dublin Trilogy under the invigorating direction GarryHynes with the stellar Druid Theatre ensemble. As memorable as theatre gets! Beg, borrow, steal a ticket #returns👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is really very poor click bait from Irish Examiner - the article itself has a correction- it was three staff and one advisor. I’m for competent/careful use of public money,but the idea that a Govt Minister should not have staff at a key international event is just nonsense.
Another brilliant festival weekend ahead in #Kilkenny Kilkenomics Mine off to a good start tonight - misidentified as a Librarian for whooping Paschal Donohoe speaking up for libraries is a good start to any weekend Colm O'Regan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻#Kilkenomics
