Closing Gala - Cork International Choral Festival
Despite the poor weather, the 61st Cork International Choral Festival was a huge success, drawing the crowds in even greater numbers than before, and affording both residents and visitors the pleasure of indulging in the very best in music and song from every corner of the world.
One of the most charming things about the five-day festival was the sheer range of sideshows — free concerts and recitals, fringe events, choirs in churches, music in the Masonic Hall and, of course, sunrise at Shandon, on May Day.
