Cork’s Sacred Harp singers are delighted to announce an upcoming singing workshop to be given by Brendan Taaffe, a Minnesota singer and musician with paternal roots in this fair land of irk and ire. With a degree in trad from University of Limerick in his back pocket, Brendan joins us in the Camden Palace Hotel to teach a workshop not only in shape note singing but also in bluegrass and gospel styles.

Brendan has a great store …of knowledge and teaching experience to share with us in Cork, having toured with Northern Harmony (the highest possible level under the Village Harmony umbrella), and taught in places such as reknowned Pinewoods Camp in Massachusetts.
He says, “One of my greatest joys is leading singing workshops. By working with groups throughout Europe and North America, I have learned that: we create something extraordinary when we sing together; singing is our birthright, and is something that we all can do; singing in harmony is a uniquely powerful experience.”
(quoted maced from his pretty daycent website).

As well as teaching shape note music, Brendan is a proficient writer of the genre, so any budding composers in our midst would be well-advised to be present!

Entry will be €10 on the night and will also cover the donation for the community sing which will take place after the workshop. Come on, learn somethin’; we might even have a wine break….

“The Joy of offering” Oriental Duende Dance workshop with La Negra. 10.30am - 5pm Sat 19^th and Sun 20^th Nov

Fiesta Duende: A free evening celebration of Oriental Duende 8.30pm Sat 19^th Nov

Oriental Duende Dance is one of the forms of Danza Duende in which we can study feminine energy in harmony with the masculine principle, working on a physical level through movements of Oriental Dance (Bellydance) and an energetic “invisible” level. With an open mind, we can enter into the language of Oriental dance, discovering a freshness and joy in the beauty and sensuality of every detail, in each moment . A genuine, joyful, free offering………

We will work through the whole body using the richness and variety of the music and bellydance movements as support. We will study ways of creating and improvising dance, and will dance together in a spirit of joy, re-creating one of the beautiful characteristics of Middle Eastern dance, the female group dances.

This workshop is suitable for those with some experience of oriental dance at various levels.

Please wear comfortable clothing and a hip scarf (no Coin Belts please) \

She was introduced to Belly Dance by Paula Lena in Buenos Aires, and decided to go deeply into this art with other masters as Shokry Mohamed, Douglas Felis, Paula Lena, Myriam Szabo and others.

She lives in Barcelona and directs “Danza Oriental Negra”, teaching classes and workshops in Barcelona, Madrid, Vitoria, Buenos Aires, Lisbon, Milan . She has created and produced many shows and events since 2000 with internationally renowned professionals. Negra studies Danza Duende with Yumma Mudra and teachers of the Duende network. She is also a teacher of Oriental and Free Duende. Her interest about the essence of feminine energy led her to create the workshop”FEMINAS” which has been taught in different places in Europe. She joins with Cristina Manrique to create the perfomance “Poema Blanco” (“White Poem”) and also created “El Aliento de las Dakinis” (“Dakini’s Breath”) inspired by the work of Yumma Mudra. Negra collaborates with Project Duende since 2004.

The Camden Palace Hotel is hosting Cork’s first all-day Sacred Harp singing on October 22nd, 9am – 4pm. Sacred Harp singing is part of the shaped note genre of music, and is often said to be the oldest folk music of the U.S.A., the tradition dating back to the 1700′s. The music consists of three-to-four-part acapella hymnal harmony, and the Cork Sacred Harp singing is the first of its kind in Ireland. Beginner’s workshop will be given on Friday 21st October at 7pm by Aldo Thomas Ceresa, a prominent figure within the Sacred Harp community. Both the workshop and the all-day singing are free though donations are extremely welcome. Please bring one savoury and one sweet dish to share with fellow singers on Saturday for the traditional ‘potluck lunch’ between sessions! Absolutely no singing experience required- all are welcome.
