The Choral Scholars Of University College Dublin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Choral Scholars of University College Dublin revived their muchanticipated Christmas Concert series at Newman University Church in December 2022, with alumni and friends gathering at the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI) for a pre-concert reception. The internationally acclaimed chamber choir, under the guidance of Artistic Director, Dr Desmond Earley, left the audience spellbound. The concerts attracted over 1,000 attendees across the three nights, cementing their resounding success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UCD Symphony Orchestra<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The UCD Symphony Orchestra, with Conductor and Artistic Director, Dr Ciar\u00e1n Crilly, enjoyed a remarkable year celebrating its 20th anniversary, the orchestra presenting events on campus showcasing the music of the Beatles in October and Elgar\u2019s Cello Concerto in November 2022. In April 2023, the orchestra was joined by the UCD Philharmonic Choir for a sellout concert at the National Concert Hall. Another key event for UCD School of Music was a performance of Haydn\u2019s Nelson Mass at Newman University Church in honour of Professor Harry White\u2019s 30th year as Chair of Music. The performance featured the Choral Scholars and Ad Astra Chamber Orchestra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
