Ireland: Many congratulations to Dorothy Conaghan of the National Concert Hall Primary Strings Outreach Project, who has been awarded The Mary Kelly Scholarship by University College Dublin for the length and depth of outstanding lifetime achievement in promoting equality in the area of music education. This Scholarship is awarded to one Equality Studies student/ researcher each year who has demonstrated an outstanding record of activism for equality and social justice. The award is competitive and international and is given in recognition of exceptional achievement.
And great news for Limerick: Their Sing Out with Strings gala concert will be taking place in the University Concert Hall at the University of Limerick on Wednesday 11th June. The concert is part of the official events for Ireland's first City of Culture, which will be held in Limerick for 2014. Maybe another chance for some of us to meet?
Croatia El Sistema day in Lisinski Concert Hall. Carmen Hiti www.so-do.hr "Sistem of children and youth orchestras" is going ahead with this project on the 8th November 2014. The agreement has been signed with the Concert hall and she is writing to the patron – the Croatian president - to fix it in his diary. Carmen says 'come whatever may this event will happen! She is planning to have a seminar on Sistema methodology for her teachers in which she may be able to include other ("younger") musicians from Sistema-inspired programmes. (Sadly, it is highly likely that I will not be able to join you personally owing to another event that has to take place at the same time – more on that in a future news update!).
