Cork Midsummer Festival 2022 will once again focus on live in person events that artists and audiences can experience and share together. Following two years of a hybrid festival, mixing online and limited audiences at some live events outdoors, the team are delighted to return fully to live events. CMF 2022 celebrates the importance of community, as the community of artists and audiences gather together again after so long.
Across the entire programme there is a keen sense of awakening, of stories, voices and spaces. Cork Midsummer Festival has always used the city as its backdrop and inspiration and the festival team are delighted to be able to do so again as our beloved Cork once more becomes the stage and gallery. Audiences can discover and rediscover the city and all its glorious possibilities, including a number of new spaces.
The Festival also continues to be an important national showcase for extraordinary Irish artists at all stages of their career and this year much of what audiences will see in the programme is brand new work with 25 world premieres, new commissions and projects.
