We are delighted to invite you to the next (3rd) session of our Caint agus Cultúr initiative, organised in collaboration with the Greek-Irish Society.
Continuing the initiative’s two-part format, the evening will begin with our monthly Ciorcal Comhrá, an Irish-language conversation circle and informal class designed to encourage spoken Irish in a relaxed, friendly, and welcoming environment. Participants of all levels are warmly welcome, including complete beginners with no prior knowledge of the language.
For the second part of the evening, we are delighted to welcome Lambrini Gioti and the Curfá Gaelic Nordic Choir, who will introduce us to the history and beauty of Sean-nós singing (one of Ireland’s most distinctive musical traditions), and perform a selection of songs on our rooftop under the summer night sky. For those feeling adventurous, some of the song lyrics will be taught during the Ciorcal, offering the opportunity to join in later in the evening!
As always, it will take place at the premises of the Irish Institute of Hellenic Studies at Athens (Agras 23, Pangrati):
Ciorcal Comhrá: 19:30
Introduction to the Sean-nós Tradition: 20:30
Choir Performance: 21:00
You are very welcome to attend either part of the evening - or both!
Please note that registration is required. To reserve your place, kindly email: irishinstitutegr@gmail.com
This will be our final Caint agus Cultúr session before the summer break. We look forward to returning in the autumn with a new programme of events.
We hope to celebrate the start of summer with many of you! ~ Tá súil againn go mbeidh go leor agaibh linn chun tús an tsamhraidh a cheiliúradh!
