PRESS RELEASE
Aloys Fleischmann – Music for the Ballet
Cork City Ballet, in association with the Firkin Crane, recently launched its forthcoming production of Aloys Fleischmann – Music for the Ballet, a centenary celebration of one of Ireland’s finest composers at the Firkin Crane Monday 26th April at 8pm.
Directed by Alan Foley and Paul McCarthy, the company is delighted to announce the return of Prima Ballerina Chika Temma, who will star in an adaptation of Professor Fleischmann’s ballet The Golden Bell of Ko. This version is specially choreographed by Russian ballet star Yuri Demakov, who will also dance in the production.
Leigh Alderson, a principal with Cork City Ballet - who trained at London’s Royal Ballet School - will perform Alan Foley’s new version of The Dying Swan, and students from Colaiste Stiofain Naofa’s Diploma in Dance course and The Cork School of Dance will feature in the show.
Renowned international choreographer (and former dancer with Irish Theatre Ballet, artistic director and choreographer to Irish National Ballet) Domy Reiter Soffer will open the exhibition Music for the Ballet on the night. The exhibition was prepared from the Fleischmann and Moriarty archives by Anne and Maeve Fleischmann together with a committee of former Cork Ballet Company dancers; it was designed by Max Fleischmann, and documents how the music for the dance arose as well as the performances of the ballets with specially commissioned music.
Speaking at the recent launch, Artistic Director Alan Foley said, “Cork City Ballet is proud to be involved in the centenary celebrations of Aloys Fleischmann, and help mark his magnificent contribution to ballet in Ireland”.

Support Us
To ensure The Company keeps on dancing each year we need to generate financial support. Cork City Ballet, a registered charity, receives only a small portion of its income from public funding so we are always keen to hear from individuals or corporate partners interested in helping us continue the success of our artistic, educational and community programmes.
Could you help us help our young artists develop their talent and help other young people to develop their potential? You can make a donation by sending a cheque (made payable to Cork City Ballet) to Janet Dillon, Administrator, Cork City Ballet, Firkin Crane Theatre, Shandon, Cork, Ireland. All donations, no matter how small, help towards our target and help us maintain the high quality of our artistic and educational output.
We are very grateful to all our supporters, without whose support we could not continue to offer the opportunities we currently do.
