Sligo Choral Festival 2011

What a fab day we had at Sligo International Choral Festival, where we were awarded first prize in the National Mixed Choirs competition and second in the Church Music competition. 

 

In concert with Nóirín Ní Riain

Following our very successful performances in Sligo on Nov 12th, we performed again that evening in Holy Trinity Church Westport as part of the Rolling Sun Book Festival.

Noirín Ní Riain and Mark Patrick Hederman, through story, music and song, narrated the life and times of poet W.B. Yeats, interspersed with readings of his poetry.
