Sunday 15th May: A special Gala Concert in the National Concert Hall will feature students from Abbey College, Boyle. As part of its 2016 Centenary Programme, the National Concert Hall in conjunction with Disney Music Group and the Department of Education and Skills will host “Song for ’16”, an all-island schools song competition. The song composition from Abbey College students reached the final seven in the secondary schools category.
• I have been observing this group’s progress and all-too-rare public performances. I am delighted to congratulate and send very best wishes to music teacher Lizi Hannon, composer Rachel Bolger and students.
