Magdalene Songs at West Cork

Three Magdalene Songs (2022) were included in a programme of commissions by Boyne Music Festival and West Cork Chamber Music.
All the songs (by Rhona Clarke, Deirdre Gribbin and Deirdre McKay) centred on the survivors of Magdalene Laundries in Ireland.
There were performed by Lotte Betts Dean (mezzo) and Deirdre Brenner (piano) in the atmospheric atmosphere of St Brendan’s Church Bantry on 5 July 2024.
