We are delighted to have been able to participate in Peace Proms again this year.
Peace Proms gives Primary school children the opportunity to sing with a choir of up to 3,500 children, perform with a full symphony youth orchestra (Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland), work with leading professional conductors, perform at premier music venues, develop vocal technique, presentation and performance, experience a variety of musical styles and genres.
The pupils have been practicing their songs and dance moves since Christmas and have participated in two video zoom calls with Greg Beardsell the conductor of the CBOI who gave wonderful feedback and encouragement. All of their hard work culminated in 15 of our students participating the live Peace Proms concert held in the Helix on Saturday the 7th of May at 3pm. Some of our parents were able to attend the concert on the day which was amazing by all accounts. It is fantastic opportunity for the pupils to have the experience of participating in a professional concert with a live orchestra and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
