Delightful classical concert in Cathedral on Sunday night
‘Classic Delights Killarney’ is a very special gala concert in aid of Kerry Parents & Friends Association which will take place on Sunday at Saint Mary's Cathedral.
The concert will star Nils Wanderer and Sharon Lyons, accompanied by Kerry Scotia Ensemble, in an evening of music spanning all genres of music from Baroque to Celtic and everything in between.
All profits from ticket sales and all proceeds from the raffle will go to Kerry Parents & Friends Association.
KPFA was established in 1973 and recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.
KPFA provides community based services supporting adults with intellectual disabilities and their families throughout Kerry. Its mission is to deliver life enhancing services and supports, responding the needs, wishes and choices of people with intellectual disabilities, connected to support networks in their community.
The vital supports that KPFA provides to people with intellectual disabilities ensure that they and their families can live their best lives.
Nils Wanderer is a world famous countertenor who recently took second place in Placido Domingo's Operalia competition and performs in concerts halls and operas around Europe.
He is a specialist in Baroque music and will perform some timeless classics with the orchestra like Ombra Mai Fu, Lascia Chio Pianga and Dido's Lament.
Sharon, who is the director of music in the Cathedral, is an internationally acclaimed soprano who has performed to audiences all over the world, including for presidents and a pope.
She will join Nils and the orchestra singing beautiful arrangements of Irish and classical songs like Caledonia, Danny Boy, Pie Jesu and may more.
Kerry Scotia Ensemble is Kerry's only professional string ensemble and was formed with the aid of an Arts Act Grant from Kerry County Council in 2016.
They have been organising and performing in concerts all over Kerry spanning all genres of music since their establishment. Since December last year the ensemble has raised almost €10,000 for local charities like Down Syndrome Kerry and Kerry Hospice Foundation.
Tickets for Classic Delights Killarney are €15 and are available on the door or from Eventbrite.

N71 Moll’s Gap road remains closed following Killarney National Park fire
The N71 Moll’s Gap road remains closed this Wednesday lunchtime following a significant forestry fire at Five Mile Bridge on Tuesday evening.
Kerry County Fire Services personnel from Killarney, Kenmare, and Killorglin, alongside the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) fire team, worked on-site to tackle the blaze. Two helicopters were deployed to extract water from the lake to quench the flames.
The fire was brought under control at 10:30pm on Tuesday evening. However, several areas are still smouldering today and are currently being assessed by emergency crews.
The road is closed as a safety precaution while preventative measures continue, and local diversions are in place. Helicopters remain active at the scene today, taking water from the lake to dampen down areas on the opposite side of the road.
