Wexford Culture Night 2009

HIGHLIGHTS

The Dun Mhuire

An Céilí Mór

From experienced dancers to spectators to beginners, join us for a night of revelry with An Ceilí Mór in the Dun Mhuire. The ceilí will be divided into the different ceilí types, so there’s something for everyone and the Drinagh Mummers will combine dancing, mime and pageantry to bring an added dimension to the festivity. The Ceilí will be followed by a unique take on well know traditional Irish ballads, as well as some original material as Gaeilge, bound to get the foot tapping.

This is a celebration of the very best of Irish, with our traditional style of dancing and the inevitable ceol agus craic!

Wexford Opera House

The Illumination of Wexford Opera House

Following the construction of the world class Wexford Opera House a spectacular lighting feature was commissioned through the Per Cent for Art Scheme by the Office of Public Works. The artwork, entitled Liquid Mountain, created by artist Andrew Kearney, will be unveiled for the first time on September 25th to mark the closing of the inaugural Wexford Culture Night, 2009.

Architecture awards which Wexford Opera House has achieved to date are: Bank of Ireland Opus Architecture and Construction Award 2008; Irish Theatre Award 2009 (Judges' Special Award); Royal Institute of British Architects Award 2009 - (Buildings in Europe category) and the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland Award 2009 - (Best Cultural Building category).

As a ground breaking 21st Century art commission, Liquid Mountain will change the Wexford skyline forever!

Cáca Milis Cabaret

Take one late night urban venue, with candles at each table. Add mellow lights across a stage, a singer, a piano and some unexpected guests. Put them all into the newly-vamped Wexford Arts Centre theatre and you’ve got The Cáca Milis Cabaret. Caca Milis brings you music, song, comedy, dance, poetry and more from local and national artists.

Featuring some of the most celebrated Irish artists including Brian Ballard, Felim Egan, Paul Kelly, Sonja Landweer and John Cullinan.
