The Goddess Of the River Shannon - Sionnan
You are cordially invited to the launch of The Goddess of the River Shannon – Sionnan project.
This wonderful project captured the imagination of children from West Cavan — Dowra and Glangevlin — who explored the story of Sionnan through storytelling, art, and music. Their creativity helped bring Sionnan to life, culminating in the creation of a beautiful dress designed by Couture Dress Designer Margaret Coyne.
The launch event will include:
- Unveiling of the Sionnan Dress
- Recitation of the Sionnan Poem, composed by local children
- Art Exhibition featuring the children’s creative work
- Musical Performance, including an original composition inspired by Sionnan by local singer-songwriter Andrew Lynch
- Creative Station where children can express their own interpretation of Sionnan
- Screening of two short films showcasing Ireland’s Aileen Mac Keogh 20th FÍS Film of the Year Award winners from St. Hugh’s N.S.
