In fact it sounds so good you'll have to scroll down to the bottom of this mail to learn more because I want to tell you first about the fantastic festival that we in the Cork Orchestral Society have lined up for ye.... the Carducci Quartet Fesival...
to quote my badself... "Cork Orchestral Society is delighted to host a festival of chamber music featuring the critically acclaimed Carducci Quartet in the stunning Curtis Auditorium at the new Cork School of Music from Friday September 14th to Sunday September 16th. Prizewinners in no less than 6 International Chamber Music Competitions in the space of 4 years, the Carducci Quartet is recognised as one of Europe's top string quartets.
The festival will also feature a host of other top musicians, including Cian Ó Dúill (viola), Louisa Dennehy (flute), Vincent Condon (clarinet), Rory Dempsey (double bass), Stephen Kelly (percussion) and pianists Ciara Moroney, Rebecca ?ápova and Kirsten ?ápova. The festival will present a fantastic range of music from Haydn and Mozart, Fauré and Poulenc, Dvo?ák and Rakhmaninov and many more.
One highlight is sure to be the Festival Ensemble's performance of Saint-Saëns' much-loved masterpiece Carnival of the Animals, a must for music lovers of all ages. The performance will feature leading actress Fiona Shaw (of Harry Potter fame) who will read from Ogden Nash's humourous verses written especially for the work.
On Friday September 14th composer Ian Wilson will give a free pre-concert talk at 7pm in the new Cork School of Music's Lecture Theatre 1 to introduce us to his string quartet unbroken white line which will receive its first Irish performance in the opening concert. Audience will also have the opportunity to hear David Wallace's new Flute Sonata at a lunchtime concert on Saturday 15th – as Hochtief Fellow in Compositon at CIT Cork School of Music Wallace's first string quartet proved extremely popular at the RTÉ Vanbrugh String Quartet's 21st Anniversary performance in June.

Ladyfest Folk Night- Ladyfolk!-Sept 14th
Spailpin Fanach- Sept 14th
Good news friends!
We have put together a folk night for your aural pleasure! Each of the bands feature female musicians and each band represents a unique take on classic folk traditions.
Line up is:
Polka Madre Y la Comezon- www.myspace.com/madrecomezon
-Jewish Gypsy Polka with a Clarinet, an Accordion and a Farfisa. From Mexico City!!
WATCH!!
Polka Madre y la Comezon is a musical group which has surprised its audiences with the originality of its compositions and the energy, sarcasm and humor of its live shows. After two and a half years since its conception in Mexico City, Polka Madres principle influences lie in Jewish music and the old sounds of Gypsy and Eastern European cultures. Each piece, however, varies in style, rhythm and time signature. Their repertoire ranges from euphoric polkas, melancholic waltzes to punk, rock and passages of classical music. The vibrancy of the band is also drawn from the origin of its members: Mexico City, Portland, Oregon and Helsinki, Finland. Each member brings his or her cultural influences into the compositions. Mexico Citys raw, concrete landscape is what binds the band together. The citys ruckus, violence and camaraderie make music and emotions more intense. Sadness is sadder, faster and harder becomes reckless; beauty is rare and hence more treasured. The grittiness of the city leaks into even the finest klezmer clarinet piece and the fast dance songs are all the more rowdy. The band mostly lives together in an ex-warehouse and spends most of its time creating music.
