Big Sing at the City of Derry International Choir Festival

21st Oct 2021

Primary 6 pupils were delighted to join the Big Sing at the Millennium Forum today as part of the City of Derry International Choir Festival. It was a terrific event hosted by the festival's Artistic Director, Dónal Doherty. 

Our wonderful singers joined classes and choirs from Steelstown, Ebrington, Nazareth House, Lisnagelvin, Holy Family, Oakgrove Integrated and Faughanval Primary Schools to enjoy a morning of song. We were delighted to meet Lucinda Geoghean, who joined the event from Scotland via Zoom. Her music workshop allowed children to explore songs, rhythm, games and rhymes with laughter from start to finish!

The morning concluded with a performance of 'The Jellyleg Germ' composed by Catalan composer and conductor, Josep Vila i Casañas with lyrics by Catherine Ann Cullen.
