A very special day last Sunday. On a day when we welcomed back choir alumni, our seven senior probationers who have been busy learning the choir routine and lots of repertoire were admitted as full members of the Choir. A proud day for their families and for all at the Pro-Cathedral.
Everyone wishes these young choristers well as they begin their journey as fully-fledged choristers.

Following the phenomenal success of last year’s sold-out concert Christmas with the Palestrina Choir, Musical Director Blánaid Murphy returns to the National Concert Hall for a matinee and evening performance of The Glory of Christmas with the Palestrina Choir on Saturday 14th December, a dazzling concert which promises to entertain and celebrate the glory of Christmas. At the matinee performance they will be joined by the lovely young voices of St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral Girls’ Choir and at the evening performance by award-winning Continuum Youth Choir, made up of former boy and girl choristers.
 
In addition, at both performances, they will be joined by Irish award-winning soprano Ava Dodd, famed Irish Actor Aidan Gillen, with accompaniment from the renowned Dublin Brass ensemble, this concert features family-favourite carols such as O Holy Night, O Come all ye Faithful, Hark the Herald, Twelve Days of Christmas and many more. The audience will also feature in the music making, guided by the wonderful TV personality Mary Kennedy.
