]]> Congratulations to 5th Year music students, Molly Cassin, Oonagh Byrne, Taylor Fogarty, Abigail Dempsey, Zi Nanetti and Nellija Henina on composing 4 songs for the National Chamber Choir of Ireland. St. Fergal’s College were very lucky to be chosen as one of ten schools nationally to take part in composing their own pieces of choral music. 
‘Composers in the classroom’ is in partnership between Chamber Choir Ireland and the Contemporary Music Centre of Northern Ireland. Students received coaching from some of Ireland’s leading composers and professional singers. A big thank you to composer Tom Lane and singer Abbi Temple for working with our 5th Year students.  
The 5th year music class all travelled to the National Concert Hall on Monday 26th January to collaborate with the Chamber Choir, Tom Lane(composer) and  conductor David Young.  The students got to hear their songs in four part harmony and the songs were recorded in the studio for them.  
This was a fantastic experience for the students and they were delighted to hear the songs they composed. 
On Friday 30th January the students,  attended the Gala Concert in The National Concert Hall. This concert was to showcase all ten schools that participated in ‘Composers In The Classroom’.  
The songs composed by our students are: 
‘We Can Make a Difference’ by Molly Cassin and Oonagh Byrne. 
‘The Frost’ by Abigail Dempsey and Taylor Fogarty 
‘We Belong’ by Nellija Henina 
‘ To Be’ by Zi Nannetti 
This was a great experience and thoroughly enjoyed joyed by all the students
