Cork City Council, in conjunction with UCC, have launched a unique Education Pack in honour of Aloys Fleischmann called “Meet the Professor”

The Education Pack has been compiled by Michelle Finnerty, Lecturer in Music at School of Music and Theatre, UCC.

The aim of “Meet the Professor” is to introduce teachers and students in secondary schools to Fleischmann’s significant work and legacy. The Education Pack is currently being distributed to all secondary schools in Cork City and is of particular relevance to students studying Music and Civic, Social and Political Education (CSPE).

"Cultural experience is a key part of children’s lives’ and the education system plays a central role in fostering this experience in Ireland. This pack which brings one of the principal cultural figures of the Twentieth Century back to the classroom  is designed in a teacher friendly and cross-curricular manner to make it relevant to teachers and students. It also provides teachers with an opportunity to enhance the cultural experience for children in Ireland through engagement with Professor Fleischmann's story” said Michelle Finnerty.

The CD accompanying the pack provides material that gives a valuable insight into the diverse musical work which Fleischmann was involved in as a composer, researcher, organiser and educator and gives students an opportunity to hear music which Fleischmann composed including Clare’s Dragoons, Bata na bPlanndála and Song for a Festive Occasion.
