Limerick Early Music Festival

Dr Yonit Kosovske co-directed the Limerick Early Music Festival 20th–23rd March 2024. Spanning 1000 years of music, diverse cultures, and geographical areas from North Africa to Europe, this year's theme was JOURNEYS, celebrating music about travel, pilgrimage, and transformation in events at Saint Mary's Cathedral, Saint Joseph's Church, and the Milk Market.

Enthusiastic audiences experienced historical and traditional repertoires performed by internationally-renowned vocal soloists, instrumentalists, and multiple choirs: Peregryne, Cantoral, Limerick Youth Choir, Cantette, Ancór, Saint Mary's Cathedral Choir, Sagittarius Hiberniensis, and Limerick School of Music Senior Choir.

The festival was pleased to welcome distinguished guests: HE The Ambassador of Morocco Dr Lahcen Mahraoui; Mr Gerald Mitchell, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick; Dr Loïc Guyon, Honorary Consul of France; and Mr Pat Breen, former Minister of State. Special thanks to students and staff of the Irish World Academy who helped make the festival a success!
