EA Music (Dundonald) - Christmas Concert

11 December 2024

Five ensembles from EA Music's Orchestra, Bands and Ensembles programme perform to a sell-out crowd at the Ulster Hall, Belfast.

On Wednesday 11th December, over 250 young musicians from EA Music (Dundonald) performed at their sold-out annual Christmas Concert in the Ulster Hall, Belfast to the large, appreciative audience. Presented entirely by students, the concert bands and string orchestras from North Down/Castlereagh and Lisburn/Down areas, along with the SE Youth Orchestra played a wide range of music including lots of festive favourites as well as music by John Williams and a fantastic selection from ‘Wicked’.

Afterwards, some parents shared their thoughts about the concert:

  • “Loved the concert - it was brilliant. Thanks [to all the tutors] for the time and effort you dedicate to [the young people].”
  • “The performance in the Ulster Hall was incredible - a huge well done to [everyone].”
  • “Wow! This was my daughter’s first EA Music concert and we were blown away. We loved it!”
  • “We really enjoyed the EA Music concert in the Ulster Hall. It was great to see such an array of young children up on the stage performing. Congratulations to everyone involved.”

On behalf of EA Music, thank you to all the parents, grandparents, extended family and friends who support and encourage these children and young people all year.
