Dublin 15 school choir hits all the right notes

THE choir from St Philip’s SNS in Mountview, Clonsilla, sung their hearts out recently when they took part in the massive Peace Proms concert at the RDS.

Up to 1,000 children took part in the concert and they sang with a full symphony orchestra.

Principal of St Philip’s, Paula Dargan, said she was very proud of the school’s choir.

“They have worked hard under the guidance of Aideen Hughes and Mary Keane,

“We know that the children really enjoy the whole experience of singing in front of a large audience and with a full orchestra.

The Peace Proms is organised by the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland (CBOI). It’s a unique and ambitious musical education programme in which 7,000 children from 250 schools throughout Ireland participate annually.

The project culminates in a series of concerts held at premier venues throughout Ireland in February and March. It aims to engage school children in music and enrich their lives through exceptional musical experiences and to make the Arts more accessible to young people, their school, families and the wider community.
