Cushion Concerts at Marina Market (2 - 5 years)

Join Aoife and Emma from the Irish Baroque Orchestra for a fun and interactive adventure!

In this Cushion Concert we'll discover our magic hands, and use them to conjure sounds! There will be plenty of singing, clapping, dancing, and maybe even some conducting...
Bring along a cushion, and don't forget to bring your ears!

Cushion Concerts are offered for free to all families. If you are able to consider making a donation then this will be gratefully appreciated, and will help us to keep these events free in future.
Approx. running time 35 - 40 minutes
Please do let us know if your plans change and you are no longer able to attend - we do place a cap on attendance numbers, and we expect to have a waiting list.

Cushion Concerts are presented in partnership with Marina Market, with support from the Tomar Trust. The Irish Baroque Orchestra receives principal funding from Arts Council Ireland.
