The Dancers Inherit the Party | Chamber Choir Ireland & Paul Hillier
Chamber Choir Ireland returns to Cork International Choral Festival with a brand new commission by Gabriel Jackson: The Dancers Inherit the Party, based on Ian Hamilton Finlay's poem of the same name.

When I have talked for an hour I feel lousy –

Not so when I have danced for an hour:

The dancers inherit the party

While the talkers wear themselves out and

sit in corners alone, and glower.

The programme also features 'I am', a new piece by Eoghan Desmond; David Fennessy's eccentric 'chOirland', made up of nonsense lyrics from traditional Irish songs and ballads; and Cassandra Miller’s 'The City, Full of People', immersing the audience in 'a cacophony of private secrets.'

Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
