Up and Coming Events and Curtain Calls.

Highlights of the choral groups for the year includes two trips to the Royal Albert Hall and  a very exciting event coming up in July - once again to the Albert Hall for the world premier of Karl Jenkins' 'Gloria'. These concerts are part of the really big chorus where choirs from all over  the world learn a set piece, rehearse on the day in London and perform as a group that evening.

Past foreign trips included their first trip to Italy in 1998 where they sang and were entertained by an Italian Choral Group, 'Gaudeamus'. They had the pleasure of their return visit to Dunlavin that Christmas. The group has also been to Salzburg, Cork, Blessington, and locally in Donard, Davidstown, Gormanstown and of course Rathsallagh Golf Club.

Recent highlights were a performance of 'The Armed Man' by Karl Jenkins, at the Dunlavin Arts Festival in 2009, an outdoor production of 'The Mikado' by Gilbert & Sullivan in 2007. Other productions include H.M.S Pinafore (1995) and Oklahoma (1999).
