Christmas Youth Concert

There will be a Christmas Youth Concert taking place next Friday, 20th December 2019, in St John The Baptist, Kinsale at 8 pm

It will feature singers and musicians from Kinsale Community School, Ballinspittle Comhaltas, and Grace Contemporary Christian Rock Band.

We are expecting a large turnout from the Community school here in Kinsale. It would also be wonderful if some of the 5th and 6th class pupils, and their families, in your school would be made aware and might come along too.

Many thanks in advance

The Lir Quartet

Haydn String Quartet Op.77 No.1
Schubert String Quartet in E flat major D.87
Shostakovich String Quartet No. 3 in F major Op. 73

Founded for Barry Douglas’ 2017 Clandeboye Festival, the Lir Quartet is one of Ireland’s most exciting chamber groups. Joined for their fourth tour for the Foundation this autumn by violinist Patrick Rafter, they present three great works from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Haydn’s two quartets Op.77, written in 1799, were his last creations in the genre that he shaped and developed for half a century. Schubert’s E flat quartet D.87 was written in 1813 when Schubert was just 17 and, while not on the dramatic scale of his late quartets, is a masterpiece of Viennese charm and elegance. Shostakovich’s third quartet, from 1946, is one of the finest, most evocative works in the repertoire, a heart-rending response to the horror of the second world war.

Parents of the 2018 Gaelscoil alumni!

The class of 2018 are very welcome to volunteer at the Gaelscoil during the weeks of 10th and 17th June 2019. The school is happy to take 2-4 pupils from 9am to 1:30pm each day as long as they speak in Irish at all times, leave their phones with Hilda and get to work assisting Sinead and the other teachers helping out and doing odd jobs.

So if interested let me know asap via text 0879788132 so we will work up the rota. This was very popular with the previous three years and a great way for them to brush up on their Irish skills again.

Can you please spread the word to parents who may no longer be receiving Gaelscoil Nuacht Eile!
