Enjoy a festive musical adventure with a special first, the inclusion of Irish Sign Language (ISL).

In this Cushion Concert we'll discover our magic hands, and use them to conjure sounds! There will be plenty of singing, clapping, dancing, and maybe even some conducting...

We are also delighted to welcome Sarah Vesey, a Deaf Studies student at Trinity College Dublin, who will be joining us to introduce Irish Sign Language (ISL) to our Cushion Concert Series for the first time!

Throughout our Christmas-themed concert, Sarah will introduce a selection of signs connected to the music presented by Facilitator Martina and Guest Musician Ellen.

We hope this new addition to our Cushion Concert series will allow participants to take away a new form of connection that might help us communicate with others in our community.

Bring along a cushion, and don't forget to bring your ears!

Cushion Concerts are offered for free to all families. If you are able to consider making a donation then this will be gratefully appreciated, and will help us to keep these events free in future.

Approx. running time 30 - 40 minutes

Please do let us know if your plans change and you are no longer able to attend - we do place a cap on attendance numbers, and we expect to have a waiting list.

Cushion Concerts are presented in partnership with Cork City Council and supported by the Ireland Funds. The Irish Baroque Orchestra receives principal funding from Arts Council Ireland.
