Description

This is a colour photograph of the Children’s Choir posing at the altar of St Francis's Church on Liberty Street in Cork. The girls, in matching red frocks accessorised with a white headband, line up with the boys, in their black trousers and white shirts, across the chancel of the altar. The back of the photo notes that the children sitting on the chairs at the front of the choir are the young Donal Lehane and Grainne Breen – the daughter of the festival founder Dermot Breen and his wife Vida.

This image is one of the few colour photographs in the archive and provides us with a beautiful rendition of the notable mosaic interior of the church. The mosaics were designed by the Italian artist Umberto Noni who counted his work at this church as one of his most accomplished creations.
