Led by the Voices of Peace Choir in partnership with Cork Academy of Music, the project creates inclusive spaces where young people can express their identities, tell their own stories and connect through shared creativity.<\/p>\n<p>Working with children and young people aged 6\u201319, the project supports participants to co\u2011create choral, musical and performance work that reflects themes important to them and celebrates cultural diversity. Young people play an active role in shaping the performances, from choosing songs and themes to contributing ideas around movement, staging and costume, ensuring the work is youth\u2011led and authentic.<\/p>\n<p>Between May and August 2026, the Voices of Peace will present a series of free public performances at major community festivals and events across Cork City, including Cruinni\u00fa na n\u00d3g, Cork Midsummer Festival and intercultural celebrations in Fitzgerald\u2019s Park and Shandon. These performances invite the wider community to come together through music, creating moments of connection, visibility and shared pride.<\/p>\n<p>The Pulse of the Stage promotes wellbeing, confidence and belonging for young people from migrant backgrounds while enriching Cork&#8217;s cultural life through joyful, inclusive and high-quality public performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":41260,"template":"","class_list":["post-41259","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Pulse of the Stage: Voice through the Light - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Pulse of the Stage: Voice through the Light is a vibrant intercultural music and performance project that brings together children and young people from migrant and Irish communities across Cork City.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-pulse-of-the-stage-voice-through-the-light\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Pulse of the Stage: Voice through the Light - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Pulse of the Stage: Voice through the Light is a vibrant intercultural music and performance project that brings together children and young people from migrant and Irish communities across Cork City.
