‘Something for everyone’ at choral festival

THE 55th Cork International Choral Festival will attract more than 4,000 competitors from as far apart as Mallow and Moscow.

This year’s festival, which runs April 28 to May 2, will feature performances in the concert hall at City Hall, Blackrock and Blarney Castle as well as schools and libraries.

“What happens in Cork is special, of international significance and contains something for everybody,” festival director John Fitzpatrick said.
