PALESTRINA CHOIR

The Palestrina Choir is travelling to Rome in November. The choir will have the great honour of giving a joint concert with the Cappella Musicale Pontificia – the Sistine Chapel Choir. They will take part in the Jubilee of Choirs, give a concert hosted by the Ambassador to the Holy See Her Excellency Frances Collins, and give a concert in the town of Palestrina as part of Palestrina 500 celebrations. This is a very significant trip: one in which the Palestrina represents Ireland abroad in a special way and it will be extremely educational and inspiring for the boy choristers and everyone who is singing and travelling. We are working to make this affordable for families and are asking for your support in this fundraising concert.
