Up Up and Away is the flighty theme of the classical music concert to be held in Lismore Castle on 9th and 10th April.
`
A captivating evening is in store for patrons who, following the short stroll or shuttle bus journey down a candlelit Castle avenue, will be greeted by a champagne reception before the music strikes up.
`
A wonderful musical line-up has been arranged with performances by Duo Chagnall: husband and wife cellist and violinist Gillian Williams and Arun Rao and pianist Sandy McPherson. Vocal talent will also be richly represented with appearances by Dilys Lloyd, contralto, Emma Nash, soprano and Frank Ryan, tenor. Musical direction of the evening rests in the capable hands of flautist Patricia Pearse.
`
A whimsical touch, well in keeping with the concert's aerial theme, is the top prize on offer to those in attendance in the Castle's Pugin Room: a flight for two in a hot air balloon over west Waterford will ensure that the magic of the evening will endure long after the music has died away for at least one lucky ticket holder.
`
Organised by Principal Mary England and the committee of Lismor Mochuda Primary School, Up Up and Away is a fundraising event. The proceeds are going to Liosmor Mochuda National School and the restoration of the old Presbyterian church building on East Main Street in the hope that it may resume its one-time role as a community centre.
`
Tickets are priced €25. Bookings to 086-8153793 or to the Heritage Centre on 058-54975.
