Director Conor Gorman on being part of the Song and Dance Festival: “The stadium vibrated through my tired body and my voice was broken from the long days of singing. That singular feeling of a chorus of 20,000 singers coming through me gave me the strength to continue. I felt how the past, values and strength of all the people present united in the song. I want to share this feeling with the whole world.”
