Funding sustained for reimagined Cork International Choral Festival 

Allocations quizzed as arts events struggle to adapt to Covid restrictions

The Cork International Choral Festival

Public funding to one of Cork’s largest arts events has been sustained as it finalises a reimagined event this year due to Covid-19 restrictions.

City officials and councillors said the approval of a €26,000 grant to the Cork International Choral Festival — which was cancelled last year — is a demonstration of the city’s commitment to help it, and other arts events and groups in the city, survive the pandemic.
