Concert series’ set for grand finale!

The Cork Orchestral Society’s 2021 Online Programme comes to a close on Saturday with a performance featuring three of Ireland's finest sopranos.

Known collectively as DIVA, Majella Cullagh, Emma Nash and Kelley Lonergan will join forces with pianist Michael Joyce to perform a variety of classics at Triskel Christchurch.

The three singers will deliver a mix of solo performances, duets and trios, singing pieces from popular operas such as ‘Cosi Fan Tutte’ and ‘The Mikado’.

The performance will mark the sixth and final concert of the programme which has seen a number of virtuoso performers bring their talents to the virtual stage.

Speaking in the build up to the programme finale, Chairperson of Cork Orchestral Society, Tom Crowley said he couldn’t think of a better of bringing the series to a close.

Tom said: “If it was sung by a diva, it has a home in this programme. Wherever you are and whatever you're doing when you listen to this concert, it's guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

“Watching the recording process, I was mesmerised as Emma, Kelley, Majella and Michael seamlessly combined masterful interpretations with good craic. We're so lucky to have talent like this in Cork.”
