Seinn Cashel and Emly aims to promote liturgical music in second level schools as well as in parishes throughout the diocese. It involves students learning and performing a programme of liturgical music to expand their liturgical music repertoire. On Thursday 27 April 2017, 600 students from 10 post primary schools throughout the archdiocese performed at the Cathedral of the Assumption in Thurles. The event was the first time ever that such a programme was staged in the archdiocese, and builds upon the success of similar ventures, including Emmanuel in Dublin and Seinn in Killaloe and Limerick.<\/p>\n

The schools involved in the project included Cashel Community School, Presentation Secondary School, Thurles, C.B.S. Secondary School, Thurles, Ursuline Secondary School, Thurles, Our Lady\u2019s Secondary School, Templemore, St Ailbe\u2019s Secondary School, Tipperary, St Anne\u2019s Secondary School, Tipperary, St Mary\u2019s Secondary School, Newport, Presentation Secondary School, Ballingarry. and of course, St John the Baptist Community School, Hospital.<\/p>\n

One of the advantages of this programme is that it offers students and teachers a liturgical music repertoire. However, more importantly, it involves students getting involved in a shared musical experience and bringing faith to life. Over the past number of months, the students have been practising in their own schools.<\/p>\n

Students came together to attend a lively workshop on the theme of \u2018Where do I belong?\u2019, facilitated by Eric Hughes of Scripture Union Ireland, and also to rehearse the music for the concert.<\/p>\n

Ian Callanan served as the music director for Seinn Cashel and Emly, and has been instrumental in bringing the project to fruition. A renowned composer and arranger of music,\u00a0he conducted the orchestra and chorus.<\/p>\n

It was a fantastic event, enjoyed hugely by the 53 students from John the Baptist C.S. who took part. We look forward to Seinn 2018 with excitement. Many thanks to G. McNulty, G. Carey, R. Hurley and all those who facilitated the preparation and the event itself.<\/p>\n
