Tullow’s Girls Primary School, Scoil Náisiúnta Muire Lourdes launches its 2018 gala concert with The Celtic Tenors Friday October 5th 2018
The Parents Association of Tullow Girls Primary School, Scoil Náisiúnta Muire Lourdes, is proud to announce its upcoming gala concert which will see the school’s 4th, 5th and 6th class girls perform alongside the Celtic Tenors and very special guest soprano Regina Hanley.
The gala concert will take place on Friday 5th October, 2018, in the Church of the Most Holy Rosary Tullow. Pupils from Scoil Mhuire Lourdes, who currently participate in ‘Music Generation’, Ireland’s national music education programme, will have a unique opportunity to perform alongside some of the country’s most talented musicians.
The concert will feature a combination of classical and much loved popular Irish songs and promises a truly unforgettable event. Preparations are underway and Celtic tenor James Nelson and Regina Hanley have been visiting the school, to meet and rehearse with the girls.
The Celtic Tenors (James Nelson, Niall Morris and Mathew Gilsenan) are a charismatic, globe-trotting trio and are the most successful classical crossover act to emerge from Ireland. They have a polished international reputation and just over a million album sales under their belts.
Principal Frank Murphy of Scoil Náisiúnta Muire Lourdes said: “We are incredibly excited to launch this concert. It is an amazing experience of a lifetime for the pupils to perform with the Tenors and we know it’s going to be an amazing evening for all. Music teaches children so much including social and self-esteem skills. The event will not only be a great opportunity to witness a unique performance by the Celtic Tenors on home ground but to see them perform alongside our talented pupils too.”
Special guest Regina Hanley is a Tullow native and past pupil of Scoil Mhuire Lourdes. She is a founder member of a trio called The Celtic Divas and has worked as an opera singer with many of the main opera companies in the UK and Ireland, and her singing career has taken her to many countries in the world including, Portugal, Finland, Sweden,
