About last night…. It was an unbelievable privilege for 50 members of our Senior Choir to be a part of a unforgettable performance of Beethoven 9 to a full Ulster Hall alongside the Ulster Orchestra Belfast Philharmonic Choir Methodist College Belfast Belfast Royal Academy The Royal Belfast Academical Institution under the inspirational leadership of Anna Handler Orchestral Conductor . The future of classical music and choral singing in Northern Ireland is bright and all of us at NYCNI are proud of the huge role we play in that. A huge thank you to our Artistic Director Andrew Nunn and Belfast Phil chorus director James Grossmith for their preparation and work on this special project.

NYCNI Senior Choir were delighted to give the world premiere of Praise Gaia by Catherine Dalton during their concert in July under the direction of NYCNI Artistic Director Andrew Nunn. This work is a jubilant celebration of all life on earth and the piece serves as a reminder that we hear Mother Earth and that we’re listening! NYCNI Senior Choir loved bringing this upbeat and jubilant piece to life!

We've got serious post NYCNI blues today, but we're loving looking back at the Senior Choir formal last week! We've got to say, our Senior Choir Music and welfare staff, and the Junior Choir Music staff certainly do scrub up well don't they?!
