Solo Night – Tuesday, November 12
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Solo Musical Evening in Kildare Theatre, supporting our talented musicians. Your presence provided a safe and encouraging space for performers, some of whom experienced a live audience for the first time. It takes great bravery to perform, and together we nurture that courage with respect and thank the performers.
A special thank you to our dedicated music teachers at Clonard, who guide and support our blossoming musicians. While some students couldn’t perform on the night due to illness and other commitments, we look forward to hearing them next year.
