For our first anniversary, we at Triskel, along with our creative partners have has pulled out the stops to create a whole series of special events, concerts, readings, and exhibitions to celebrate what has been a remarkable year for us.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us throughout the 260 events that we’ve created since we opened our doors as Triskel Christchurch on the 15th April last year. I’d especially like to thank Cork City Council and The Arts Council for their continued support for our activities.

The Black Mariah deserve a special mention; they celebrate in April their 5th anniversary, and they have planned a superb programme of visual arts to mark that particular milestone.

I am delighted to announce that the Cork Chamber Choir are taking a
residency with us, mainly to rehearse, and sometimes to perform, and these fortnightly rehearsals on Sunday Mornings in the Church will be open to the public to come in and listen and enjoy from about noon for an hour.

We will also mark the first anniversary by showing work by two local
photographers. Marcin Lewandowski will present his views of the many events that have taken place over the last 12 months. Izabela Szczutkowska’s haunting images are selected from her documentation of the short film – ‘Me The Seagull And The Sky’ which was shot recently in Triskel Christchurch.

With the continued energy and commitment of our partners: Corcadorca
Theatre Development Centre, Plugd, Gulpd, and The Black Mariah, we at
Triskel look forward to keeping the show going in the years ahead.
