| Jane leads the Fitzgerald Ensemble |
What a wonderful afternoon we had at Presentation School Hall yesterday. The sun shone . The hall was packed with parents and siblings to see and hear all the hundred or so 3rd and 4th class students perform on violin for their debut concert. The choir directed by Anne Marie O Mara sounded wonderful in their opening number In Happy Moments Day by Wallace. Among the invited guests were Liam Murphy, Arts and Theatre critic of the Munster Express and my own dad Bob Desmond. We heard all four ensembles in a programme that drew on a range of genres. Mile buichas to Ms Tobin who accompanied us on piano . Bravo to our leaders, Jane, Chanice and Ciara, our bass players Elohim, Estris and Ellie, Vicky on percussion Bravo tutti! Happy moments indeed .
