| | It was pure coincidence that Fleischmann was born in Germany, in 1910. His mother, Tilly, a pianist whose German parents had emigrated to Cork in 1879, was on tour in Munich when Aloys was born. He grew up in Cork, learned fluent Irish, took piano lessons from his mother and organ lessons from his father. Aloys Senior, originally from Dachau, had been the organist at the Cathedral of St Mary and St Anne in Cork since 1906. Fleischmann studied at University College Cork, then went to Munich in 1932 to continue his studies in composition, conducting and musicology. He returned to Cork in 1934, becoming Professor of Music at the age of 24, a position he held until his retirement in 1980. Passionate about music education, Fleischmann also founded and conducted various choirs and orchestras, and established the Cork International Choral Festival in 1954. | | It was pure coincidence that Fleischmann was born in Germany, in 1910.
