Culture Night 2015
Blog Bilíngue / Bilingual Blog
Last week took place in Ireland the Culture Night, an event where there are hundreds of free artistic performances.
We informed about it in advance on our Facebook fan page. To be on the loop of the news we publish on Facebook, you just have to like it here.Nós fizemos até uma pequena lista para a gente se organizar melhor.
There are so many attractions it is better to make a good schedule and choose what you prefer the most.We even made a small list so we could be better organized.
We started on Fitzgerald Park, with Music For Wood & Strings, which was a very interesting musical experience. You downloaded an app on your smartphone and some music would play according to the route you would choose on the park - using the GPS.
On the streets you could also find some cultural events. This group was singing African music in front of a church.
And of course the Pubs were not left out. Many had a special program for the Culture Night. This one was bringing a Concept Rap!
And unusual places were also used, like Cork Bus Station. This band was amazing!
Churches also participated on this lively night. We always walk in front of this beautiful 150 years old church, the Trinity Presbyterian Church. And now we had the opportunity to visit it internally, we were even offered cups of tea of coffee and snacks.
Cork Ignite was a fantastic show which delighted hundreds of spectators. A building on Cork city centre was used to project 3D images. Always followed up by music. Check it out how lovely it was with the reflection of River Lee.
We finished the evening on the City Hall with the Concert A Journey from Mountain to Sea, where a beautiful repertory was played, such as the composition Fantasia on Theme, by Thomas Tallis.
Culture Night is an amazing event! The only downside is that it happens only once a year.




















Quanta coisa legal! Esse ano eu nem tentei fazer nada porque saio tarde do trabalho pra ter que ir no centro encarar alguma fila pra alguma coisa, sabe? Ano passado a gente só foi ao centro, andou pelas ruas, sentiu a vibe da cidade, mas não conseguimos fazer nenhuma atividade porque tava tudo cheio/esgotado.

ExcluirImagino quão cheios devem ser os eventos em Dublin!!
Aqui alguns estavam bem lotados também mas nem se compara com a muvucona da Capital.
Parabéns pelo blog, Andrea e Alexsandro! Através dele eu percebi o quanto a Irlanda é maravilhosa! Estou até planejando um intercâmbio de inglês pra ficar por aí durante 1 ano. É possível vender trufas, por exemplo, na escola ou na rua como fonte de renda?
ResponderExcluirOI!!!
ResponderExcluirQue bom que gosta do blog!!
Seja muito bem-vindo/a ao Welcome to Ireland.
A Irlanda é realmente um país maravilhoso.
Olha, sinceramente nunca vimos ninguém vendendo trufas nas ruas. Mas já vimos brasileiros oferecendo coxinhas e salgadinhos em comunidades do Facebook. Não sabemos como é a legislação local quanto a esse tipo de comércio.
Muito boa sorte e apareça sempre!!
