Sing when you’re winning at 62nd Cork choral festival

Yet another hugely successful Cork International Choral Festival came to a conclusion last night with an awards ceremony for the top talent who had performed over the last four days.

The 62nd festival, of which the Irish Examiner is a media partner, saw Cork City play host to 5,000 national and international singers and thousands of visitors flocking to the city to witness more than 100 events, the majority of which were free.

One of the highlights came on Thursday night when Sweden’s The Real Group played to a packed Cork City Hall.
