The Cork School of Music Percussion department are proud to present a special fundraising concert for Éabha O'Mahony on Sunday 29th of March at 2pm in the Curtis Auditorium, Cork School of Music, Union Quay, Cork City. Suggested donation €10.
Featuring the CSM Senior and Junior Percussion ensembles and special guests, this hour long family concert will feature a multitude of percussion instruments from around the world. Expect to see marimbas, vibraphones, drums, shakers, cowbells and more! There will also be a raffle!
The concert, entitled "Percussion Carnival" will showcase the percussion students of the CSM performing music that captures the exotic and vibrant side of percussion ensemble music of all genres, with arrangements of the classical music pieces "Sevilla" by Albéniz and Maurice Ravel's "Bolero" alongside Quincy Jones' "Soul Bossa Nova" from Austin Powers, "Agua de Beber" by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Nat Adderly's "Jive Samba". There will also be a few solo performances by some of the senior percussion students. There will be a rousing Rio de Janeiro style samba to finish featuring the CIT Carnival Samba band.
All proceeds from the concert will go to charity. The concert is a fundraiser for Éabha O'Mahony. Éabha was born in 2013 with Aicardi Syndrome, a rare syndrome where the corpus callosum is missing (The corpus callosum sits between the right and left side of the brain and allows the right side to communicate with the left). As a result of this she needs daily medication and constant around the clock care. Éabha has undergone many surgeries but is a very brave and content little girl. Her parents Noel & Niamh strive to make Éabha's life as comfortable and fulfilled as possible. Any money raised will support Éabha's development and help toward building a living space that will be wheelchair accessible and making her parents home wheelchair friendly.
