Elegant song and spoken word at The Dock
Word Corner presents a special event at The Dock on Thursday, June 12th celebrating the launch of W. S. Frankham’s new 80-piece poetry collection.
The Dock in Carrick-on-Shannon presents two events this June - the Korros Ensemble and The Twisted Dance of Sunflower Sam - celebrating both classical music and poetry respectively.
Introducing something new and original to the chamber music world, the Korros Ensemble will perform in The Dock on Thursday, June 19th. Comprising the beautiful and unusual combination of flute, clarinet and harp, the Korros Ensemble has been performing together since its formation in 2001 during the musicians' studies at the Royal Academy of Music.
Featuring the talents of Eliza Marshall, Nick Ellis and Camilla Pay, all three artists are highly experienced and in demand having individually performed with all major UK orchestras, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Britten Sinfonia, Royal Opera House, BBC Concert Orchestra and London Sinfonietta.
The Twisted Dance of Sunflower Sam celebrates the launch of W.S Frankham's latest 80-piece poetry collection on Thursday, June 12th at 6 p.m.. Hosted by the Word Corner community group, the special event will consist of spoken word, songs and tales by the likes of Gerry Bohan, Keith Brennan, Louise G. Cole, Annabelle Frankham, Malcolm Kindness and folk trio GreenBirdFlying. W. S. Frankham will be joined by sonic collaborator Paddy Shine to perform a live sound arrangement alongside a selection of poetry from his new collection.
