Laudate Choral Festival.
The Laudate Festival is a Dublin Diocesan project that builds a common repertoire of hymns in both schools and parishes within the Diocese. It takes place during Catholic Schools Week each year. The highlight of the celebration is where children from Catholic Primary Schools in the diocese gather together over the course of four evenings to sing songs of praise. Approximately sixty schools will participate in this celebration over the course of four evenings that week.
The children from Rang IV and their teachers under the guidance of Mrs D Keogh are busy learning a beautiful repertoire of songs for a concert during Catholic Schools Week.
Peace Proms
Peace Proms is a choral education project for Primary Schools. Peace Proms is a celebration of cultural diversity and promotes peace, unity and tolerance through music.
It is a fantastic experience for our children in Scoil Mhichíl Naofa; singing with a choir of up to 3,000 children, performing with a full symphony youth orchestra and working with one of the UK’s leading professional conductors, Greg Beardsell.
Scoil Mhichíl Naofa have been involved in this project since 2014. The children from Rang V and their teachers under the guidance of Mrs D Keogh will be busy developing their vocal technique, presentation and performance skills across a variety of musical styles and genres.
The children of fifth class also sing in a choir for masses and celebrations in the church such as the First Communion and Confirmation.
