Children from Galvone National School, Southill Junior School, St. Mary’s National School and St. Enda’s Community School come together and perform with members of the Irish Chamber Orchestra. A very special line-up of Limerick’s shining bright lights include the very talented musical diva, Jean McGlynn, one of Limerick’s top bands, Leading Armies, alongside Music Generation artists, Godknows Jonas and Ciara Meade.

Inspired by the sights and sounds of Limerick City, the children have created brand new musical works. Working with facilitators from the Irish Chamber Orchestra and Music Generation, pupils as young as four have considered how the best of Limerick can be captured through music. They have explored the city’s history, motto, landmarks and the threads that knit them all together. With the help of the Irish Chamber Orchestra and special guests, children take their audience on an imaginative musical journey around the city, travelling from People’s Park to the Carnival. The music ranges from comedy to high drama, and includes a salute to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons featuring the Sing Out Orchestra and the Redemptorist Centre of Music.

Since its inception, Sing Out with Strings has gained a reputation for its joyous, uplifting and inspirational performances. This exciting concert caters for all Limerick schools, so buy your tickets for only 2 euro!! Pre-booking is necessary so call 061-331549!
