Festival Brass
It was a privilege for St Mark’s Dundela to host the Festival Brass Concert as a tribute to the late Ann Adair, featuring Festival Brass with their accomplished Conductor Alan Corry. Noel Thompson kindly acted as compere sharing with us some of his memories of St Mark’s when he was a chorister. Ceara Grehan, one of Northern Ireland’s most accomplished soloists, who knew Ann personally, sang several songs from theatrical shows culminating in I’ll Walk with God requested by Ann’s family. Ceara’s love of music shone through her performance. Cruinniu, a female chamber choir from Arklow, under the direction of Rosarii Kinsella performed several pieces in close harmony producing an ethereal sound.
It was particularly pleasing to witness a packed St Mark’s reverberating to the sound of such inspiring music. The acoustics in St Mark’s made this a most memorable evening of music and singing.
After an afternoon of rehearsal in the Church, the band and singers were served supper with a variety of hot dishes followed by desserts and coffee. Thanks go to all those who provided hot dishes and desserts, set up the Heyn Hall, served and worked so hard in the kitchen. Our sincere thanks to those who volunteered inside and outside the church – greeting visitors with friendly smiles and assisted with carparking.
The charities that will benefit from this concert are N.I. Hospice, Cancer Focus and Church Charities. Jonathan Breen, Fundraiser for the Hospice attended bringing with him the newly designed Hospice badges for all attending.
A big thank you to all who supported this event!
