Premier Performance  

A ground-breaking, multi-media re-imagining of the classic Patrick tale will receive its premiere at CIT Cork School of Music

Composed by Pierre O’Reilly, the performance will combine the talents of Oscar-nominated animator, Nicky Phelan, renowned soprano, Cara O’Sullivan, The Artists Factory and a 90-strong orchestra and choir.

This ambitious and exciting project has combined the talents and resources of the most innovative students from CIT Cork School of Music, CIT Crawford College of Art and Design and St John’s College to create a new vision of a classic Irish story, moving away from stereotypical notions of Patrick’s life.

“Our aim is to challenge the perception of conventional orchestral presentations with a multiple-sensory journey, incorporating live performers, illustrative media, music, sculpture and audio-visual technology” – Composer, Pierre O’Reilly.
