Sonya wants Cork kids to discover the joy of song

Sonya Keogh is relishing the chance to share her passion for singing, says Nicki ffrench Davis.

CORK-BORN opera singer Sonya Keogh is sought across the world for her talents with children. Now the international youth arts specialist and her team at ARTlifeCULTURE are preparing a significant and exciting event for children at home in Cork. Summer Sing! is part of the Music Generation Cork City Summer Programme and runs from Mon, July 29 — Thurs, August 1.

“I spend a lot of time designing, developing and running programmes for young people engaging with the arts,” says Keogh. “The past 10 years I’ve been travelling so much, and coming home I’m always so optimistic about the young people coming up I feel I don’t have to worry about the world.”
