ROCKING is an interdisciplinary performance-made-for-film

sopra alla nanna”, featuring Yonit Kosovske (harpsichord &
artistic direction), Aisling Kenny (soprano), Sarah Groser (viola
da gamba), and Isabella Oberländer (dance & choreography).

some poetry. With just herself and her guitar, she can’t wait
to celebrate culture night with you. Aoife is a singer/songwriter
hailing from Laois but nesting in Limerick. With inspiration
coming from such artists as Tom Waits, Ella Fitzgerald and Lana Del Rey,
she’s a lover of all things nostalgic. She blends jazzy tones with her
love of storytelling. Showcasing a powerful voice, her stripped back set
allows audiences to hear exactly where she’s coming from.
