Kerry Scotia Ensemble and Dr Sharon Lyons are hosting an event ’Carols From The Cathedral’ this coming  Sunday 3rd.  December at 7.30pm in St. Mary’s Cathedral Killarney,  in aid of MS Ireland Kerry South Branch.

Carols from the Cathedral will be a gala Christmas concert in aid of this worthy charity, with all profits from ticket sales, after costs and all proceeds from the raffle being donated. The concert will feature performances from Kerry Scotia Ensemble orchestra, Dr Sharon Lyons soprano and her Kerry Concert Choir. It will feature unique arrangements of Christmas classics arranged by composer Richard Rudkins from all genres of music, ranging from traditional carols, Irish music, baroque and pop.

Sharon Lyons is an internationally acclaimed soprano who has performed for presidents and the pope on stages all over the world. She has various albums, her latest being "This Holy Night" (available on Spotify). Kerry Scotia Ensemble is Kerry's only professional string orchestra. Established in 2016, it has been awarded various grants and funding from Kerry County Council, the Arts Council and the Department of Culture & Arts for its performances all around the County. 

More than 9000 people live with MS in Ireland. Since the early 70s, MS Ireland has been providing vital services to people with MS, their families and carers. MS Ireland Kerry South Branch is a voluntary organisation providing a support network, assistance through therapies and organised social gatherings.

Tickets are €20 available on Eventbrite or on the night with discounts. Also,  they are available for group purchases.    

This is the second annual charity gala concert organised by Kerry Scotia Ensemble and Dr Sharon Lyons. Last year we ran it in aid of Down Syndrome Kerry and it was a huge success. This year our partner charity is MS Ireland Kerry South Branch.

A local cafe in Killarney is hosting an event to celebrate cherished sporting memories in Killarney.

The event is taking place in Clann Housing, Coill na Darrach on June 28 and it is part of the wider Alzheimer Society of Irelands sporting memories initiative.

There will be stories, photographs, and memorabilia shared on the day.

The Alzheimer Society of Ireland is organising a sporting memories initiative which aims to harness the power of sport to spark memories and create connections with people living with dementia.

John Don O’Donoghue, who is a joint organiser of the event, is emphasising the importance of events like these for those who suffer with dementia.

He said: “They offer people, especially older adults and those living with dementia, a meaningful way to reconnect – not just with their memories, but with each other. We’ve seen first-hand how powerful it can be when someone’s face lights up remembering a match, a goal, or a moment they thought was long forgotten.”

All members of the community are welcome to attend and take part. The event is free and guests are encouraged to bring their own photos, memorabilia and stories to share.

For more information, please contact: Triona Heffernan or John Don O’ Donoghue Email: soccermemoriescafe@gmail.com
