apart from having a beautiful voice.

The Voice of Fashion
The worlds of fashion and music often make a spectacular
combination. Beyonce, Kylie and Madanna are natural targets
for haute couture stylists, but what about our own home
grown talent? Now the beautiful and talented soprano Emma
Kate Tobia is bringing her own unigue Irish flair to the
twin worlds of fashion to music.

Irish Dream comes true for Kinsale singer Emma Kate
She has won wide acclaim for her interpretation of Irish
songs, especially the traditional airs from the west of
Ireland as well as the more local Carrigdhoun.

Kinsale Soprano realises "Irish Dream" with new CD
It was an important evening for music because this was
not just another CD. Recorded in St Multose Church, Kinsale,
but also in the Aula Maxima UCC, it features Irish songs
which were given quite unique and beautiful new arrangements
magnificantly performed by Emma Kate Tobia with her lyrical
and pure tone. The combination was stunning and deserved
the widest audience. Lord Mayor of Cork Seán Martin
expressed the hope that like Horslips and Riverdance, Emma
Kate with Aisling na nGael would delight another generation
of people who enjoyed Irish culture.

Album was reviewed by a panel of 4 including Pádraig
Beathnach
I really enjoyed this album, it was a fresh new approach
to songs that I have grown up with. I especially liked her
Maighdean Mara, and the big choral rendition of "Óró,
's é do Bheatha 'Bhaile".
