'Lights of Love Remembrance Tree' Fermoy Dec 4th

 'Lights of Love Remembrance Tree' - The Christmas season is a time to celebrate our blessings with family and friends, and also serves as a time to join together with them in remembering friends and loved ones who are sadly no longer with us.

On the night, you can also write the name of your loved ones name into the 2022 memory frame.

It feels like a milestone of an anniversary to celebrate with friends, so come join me and plenty of special guests this December at The Everyman to continue this great tradition".

Art at the Triskel

Exhibition from Róisín O'Sullivan: I See Skies at Triskel Gallery Space

Runs from Thu 1 Dec 2022 - Sun 26 March 2023

Róisín O'Sullivan's practice stems from her experience of nature. O'Sullivan makes paintings and objects that reflect the natural world around her, taking a deep interest in collecting and responding to materials such as wood and leaves. Her work slips into abstraction through intuition within the studio process, creating curious painted, carved, and burned marks.

The exhibition I See Skies features a new series of paintings that began at the Tony O'Malley residency in Callan, County Kilkenny. There, the artist spent over a year immersed in nature, embracing each intimate surface in the studio as an emotional response to the complexities of life.

Christmas at the Cathedral

After a two-year pause, Cork International Choral Festival is thrilled to announce the return of this popular evening with acclaimed soprano Fiona O'Reilly and tenor Ryan Morgan for an evening of festive carols, song and poetry in the stunning surrounds of St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral on Saturday 17th December 2022 at 7:30 pm.

Fiona and Ryan will be joined on the evening by actors and singers from CADA Performing Arts (principal Catherine Mahon Buckley), The Carrigtwohill Gospel Choir (conductor Aoibheann Carey-Philpott), The Voices (conductor Mary Pedder Daly), Choral Con Fusion (conductor Keith Dwyer Greene) and Cór Scoil Mhuire J.S. (conductor Maeve Ann O'Brien).

Join us for this evening of beautiful singing and entertainment, great raffle prizes and mince pies… and a chance to sing along too!

The evening is directed by Catherine Mahon Buckley, aided musically by Michael Young and guarantees to deliver an evening of festive fuzziness.
