Welcome to the website of Kaleidoscope, the most colourful girls’ choir around! |
|
2005/2006 has been Kaleidoscope’s most successful season to date. The girls’ first competitive outing of the season was to Sligo International Choral Festival last November, where they had a double triumph. The junior and senior sections combined to put on a winning performance in the youth choirs class.
The senior girls then gave an excellent account of themselves in the competition for female voice choirs from all over Ireland, scooping another first place for Kaleidoscope. The winter term was rounded off with a very enjoyable recital of Christmas music and poetry in Templepatrick Old Presbyterian Church, which raised much-needed funds for the Northern Ireland Hospice. During the spring term, the girls took part in a concert in Ballyclare’s Allen Hall with Loughside Chamber Choir and a group of instrumentalists from the New Irish Orchestra. This was followed by an outing to Bangor International Choral Festival in County Down – one of the girls’ favourite competitions.
There was another surprise in store for the choir during the gala night presentations, when Kaleidoscope was awarded the Isobel Reid Rosebowl for the most outstanding performance of the afternoon session. This was a great achievement, particularly as the girls had been judged against the winners of six adult categories .

of Ireland to win the ladies’ choirs class.
