M’ANAM Workshop – Limerick Sings

Limerick Sings Workshop with M’ANAM

M'ANAM are delighted to be returning to Limerick for the first time since their debut performance there in 2018. Since then, they have travelled across the world and created a unique ethos that puts them among the most innovative male voice groups in the world. As part of their visit, they will undertake a workshop bringing to the Festival some of the unique techniques that they use in performance, developed as part of the ANÚNA Collective education programme, which focus on the breath, the word and the development of the individual's capacity to contribute to the community of singers within an ensemble. 

This workshop is suitable for participants of any standard and the techniques apply equally to amateur and professional voices and conductors.

M'ANAM ("My Soul" in the Irish language), is an eight voice group of men based in Iceland and Ireland that combines the shared heritages of these two ancient cultures. 

Their music fuses the words of Icelandic and Irish writers - ancient texts from the Viking Hávamál and medieval Irish poets sit alongside contemporary songs and music created by Irish composer Michael McGlynn. M'ANAM's music and performances evoke landscapes of sound rooted in the dramatic natural landscapes of both countries.
