'Harbouring'

Commissioned in 2008, Harbouring by composer Ian Wilson, was the fifth Per Cent for Art music commission undertaken by Wexford County Council since its inaugural project in 2004.

Wilson's Harbouring is a choral work based on nine poems by both Irish and international writers.

The performances were conducted by Fergus Sheil and featured the Irish Chamber Orchestra, accordian player Dermot Dunne, choristers from Wexford Festival Singers, Gorey Choral Group, Enniscorthy Choral Society and sean nós singers from the traditional singing group, Whisht!
