1916-2016, Cavan remembers

We were invited to sing at the official Cavan Centenary Celebration at the Courthouse on April 23rd. This gave us the chance, with special permissions, to sing again our A Nation's Voice piece, One Hundred Years A Nation. This time we sang it conducted by our Musical Director Eillen Tackney, with Sue King accompanying us on keyboard. The student choir of Cavan Royal School and their teacher, our soprano Laura Kavanagh, sang the childrens' chorus.
Our programme was
Mo Ghile Mear - solo - Irelane Dunwoody (alto)
Oro se do bheatha bhaile - Martina Lee Boyle (soprano) leading the choir
A Nation Once Again - Brian McKeever (bass) leading the choir
The Kerry Dances
The Lord's My Shepherd
One Hundred Years A Nation

The National Anthem
