Aloys Fleischmann - Music for The Ballet - Exhibition
26 Apr 2010 - 02 May 2010
All day
Tickets: €Free
For 45 years Aloys Fleischmann co-operated with Joan Denise Moriarty to foster ballet in Ireland. To honour Fleischmann’s contribution to dance, Cork City Ballet, in association with the Firkin Crane, presents a centenary celebration of one of Ireland’s finest composers. Renowned international choreographer (and former dancer with Irish Theatre Ballet, artistic director and choreographer to Irish National Ballet) Domy Reiter Soffer opened the exhibition.
The exhibition was prepared from the Fleischmann and Moriarty archives by Anne and Maeve Fleischmann, together with a committee of former Cork Ballet Company dancers, headed by Sinead Murphy of Cork School of Dance; it was designed by Max Fleischmann and documents how the music for the dance arose as well as the performances of the ballets with specially commissioned music.
Ruth Fleischmann introduced Domy Reiter-Soffer, who officially opened the exhibition.
Sponsorship is by Cork Lyons Club.
