A Dublin teacher has said that it is a "dream come true" to perform in Carnegie Hall in New York City on St Patrick's Day.
Leoni Arakelian is from Mulhuddart, and she teaches music and Geography in Cabra Community College in Dublin 7. Leoni plays the cello with Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland, and on March 17 the group of over 130 talented young musicians from all over Ireland and Northern Ireland will perform in Carnegie Hall.
The gig is the final stop for the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland which has performed in 16 venues including in Dublin since January. The Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland also marks the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement on St. Patrick’s Day in “Ancora,” a blend of symphonic Celtic music rooted in both the Irish and Ulster Scots traditions.
