Chamber Choir Ireland
I was commissioned by Chamber Choir Ireland to write a libretto with composter Stephen McNeff as part of the Easter 1916 commemorations.
"@StephenMcNeff and @AoifeMannix sensitively explore themes of loss and loneliness, reminiscence and regret" in Beyond the Garden:

Huge thank to @3choirs team and @leksi_p for all your help and support bringing my & @AoifeMannix's chamber opera #BeyondtheGarden to the Festival on Monday. A great reception from the late night audience as #Susanbickley & #Alisonrose awoke ghostly memories of uncertain pasts.
Had a brilliant time @3choirsfestival watching #beyondthegarden which I wrote the libretto for @stephenmcneff #rehearsal https://t.co/Z9b2jBOlbb
