MYTHS & MAGIC
Linking music, art, and animation, this year's project sees our Birr Young Voices explore the River Shannon as well as songs inspired by folklore and legends, from Celtic to European tales.
They've been working with local animator Finn Nichol to create moving and still images based around the legends of Sionnan, the River Goddess, and the River Monster, Cata
Working with choral director Gregory Ward and pianist Sophie Ward, songs and music about mythical creatures and folklore, have been a central theme of music and song worked on during 14 weekly sessions and in a 3-day music and art camp during the February Mid-Term.
