The Three Tenors at Solstice Arts

Feb 26, 2017 | News

Our Senior School Choir accompanied The Three Tenors Ireland at our local Solstice Arts Centre on Friday 10th of February 2017. The school choir, on only it’s third public performance, looked completely at ease as they performed confidently on the big stage with Derek, Dominic and Shane who perform up to 100 concerts annually in such prestigious venues as the National Concert Hall in Dublin, Cork Opera House, Killarney INEC and Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin and have been interviewed live on air by both BBC and RTE Radio One and most recently on TV3 Ireland. The choir accompanied the tenors for the chorus of ‘Home From the Sea’ as well as giving their own rousing renditions of ‘When I Grow Up’ from Matilda- The Musical and ‘Firework’ by Katy Perry. Our choir co-ordinator Ms Eimear Donnelly deserves special mention for preparing the children for the big event. We hope this was a night the children will never forget. The choir will perform next at The National Basketball Arena in Tallaght for Corfhéile na Scoileanna on Tuesday 07.03.2017. We are looking forward to seeing them on the big stage...

Ard Rí Community NS were delighted to welcome Colm Keys, Chairman of Simonstown Gaels GFC and players Mickey Brennan, Shane O’Rourke and Conor Nash to celebrate with them on their Meath Senior Championship win. They brought with them the much coveted Keegan Cup. The players explained to the children the importance of playing sport and leading a healthy lifestyle. They made the point that this was the first senior win in the 51 years since the club’s foundation, how important determination is, not only in sport but in everyday life. The club donated a set of jerseys to the school to commemorate their great victory and to celebrate the start of a partnership between Ard Rí and Simonstown. We hope this will be the start of Gaelic Games for Ard Rí. We wish Conor the best of luck as he embarks on his professional footballing career in Australian Football League and Simonstown Gaels as they progress in the Leinster Club Championship. ​...
