Drogheda Youth Orchestral Players shine in Dublin
THE Drogheda Young Orchestral Players enthralled the audience in the National Concert Hall, Dublin, when they performed at the 23rd Annual Festival of Youth Orchestras.
This Orchestra, whose ages range from 8 years and upwards, was selected to play at this prestigious event from applications nationwide and were so happy to represent Drogheda. Not only representing Drogheda , they premiered a new Piece of Music about our historic town called “Our Town” 1st. Movement “The Sabbath Rang Slowly” depicting the changing bell patterns of “St. Peters Church of Ireland” and our town clock “The Tholsel”, this Piece of music was written by our own local and wonderful composer Michael Holohan. The Orchestra were so happy that Michael joined them on Glockenspiel for the Performance.
Other music performed on the day was Braveheart Medley arranged by fantastic Ardee arranger Paul O Brien and German Dance No. 3/ Sleigh Ride by Mozart.
The Orchestra would like to thank Our Lady s College, Greenhills for rehearsal facilities and the Augustinian Community for their continued support.
