EVENT DETAILS

"A Mother’s Voice" is a commemorative dedication to the many women affected by the mother and baby homes in Ireland during the 1900s. Musici Ireland is humbled to present a multidisciplinary production in honour of these women; a collaboration between artists and living survivors to shed light on this veiled era of Ireland’s recent history. The production, which has been a two year work in progress, will culminate in an immersive walk through exhibit by Bridget Ni Dhuinn, with lighting by Eoin McNinch and showcase a performance of the newly commissioned work by Cork composers Linda and Irene Buckley with animation by Eabha Bortolozzo and Jack Kirwan.

The piece also features the voices of three mothers, "Cait", Deirdre Wadding and Sheila O'Byrne .

Musici Ireland hopes that this will be a unique concert experience- a sharing between audience and performer and an ode to the harrowing journey the women have endured.
