A festival celebrating the work of women composers, many of them neglected and even forgotten over the years, is taking place online.
Finding a Voice is now in its fourth year, but this time around there will be no live audiences.
Instead, anyone interested in watching and listening to any of the many performances between now and Monday - International Women s Day - can book tickets for the online broadcasts.
Finding a Voice was founded in 2018 by sisters Róisín and Clíona Maher, who are originally from Clonmel in Co Tipperary and have been working in different sections of the arts for many years.

Clonmelâs Finding a Voice festival, a festival devoted exclusively to music by women, is happening online this year, the only way thatâs possible for it. The great Japanese marimba player Keiko Abe and percussionist/composer Evelyn Glennie are among the names represented in the opening programme performed by Alex Petcu, who will also play a new work by Elaine Agnew.
There will be songs by Pauline Viardot, marking the bicentenary of the birth of the great French singer and composer, for whom Berlioz made the now-dominant version of Gluckâs Orfeo ed Euridice with Orfeo cast as a mezzo-soprano. Thatâs in concert by soprano Kelley Lonergan, actor Aideen Wylde and pianist Gabriela Mayer.
