At 5.30pm on Sunday 6th April, the critically acclaimed choir Cappella Caeciliana will present a concert entitled  World of Light , conducted by their Musical Director Matthew Quinn. The concert will take place in the beautiful and historic surroundings of Clonard Monastery. This programme features one of the most uplifting choral works of the nineteenth century, the ‘Requiem' by Gabriel Fauré (with orchestra), and combines it with two other French masterpieces - Fauré’s 'Cantique de Jean Racine' (version with orchestra arranged by John Rutter), and the hauntingly beautiful, lesser known ‘Pie Jesu’ by Lili Boulanger.
This concert will be preceded at 4.30pm by a talk (aimed at GCSE and A-level music students, but all are welcome) led by Matthew Quinn. As well as being Cappella's Musical Director, Matthew is Chorus Director of English National Opera and Musical Director of London Youth Chamber Choir.
Matthew will take attendees deeper inside the Requiem score and that of William Byrd's Mass for Five Voices, with live demonstrations and discussion with leading soloists, orchestral musicians and singers. As well as members of Cappella Caeciliana, these singers include Belfast-born leading baritone Malachy Frame, who will also perform in the subsequent concert.
Please note that, although there is a small charge for the pre-concert talk, students and under 25s will be admitted free of charge to the subsequent concert - no ticket required.

Belfast City Hall

放飞自我去游玩

We were led by a big-bellied man, who took the middle staircase to the second floor. He asked us to introduce ourselves at the circular handrail in the middle. We were from all over the country, and most of us were foreigners. Then he led us to the parliament hall, which is where the parliamentarians usually hold meetings. There was a microphone at each seat. He then began to talk about the origin and function of this building, and spoke with great vigor. Everyone could sit anywhere, even the speaker&#39;s seat. After the introduction, he led us to visit other halls. The huge banquet hall was covered with thick and beautiful red carpet. I can&#39;t remember which hall was covered with blue carpet.

The castle is situated in between a mountain and sea. Gardens in the surrounding are also stunning. Moreover, if you like trekking, this is an ideal location.

Peace Wall Belfast

Historic buildings

The Peace Bridge is a beautiful landscape in Belfast. It represents a very sad history and also represents the hope of the people of Northern Ireland. The walls are covered with various graffiti works, most of which are paintings expressing peace in Northern Ireland. Some of the graffiti works are very moving and worth appreciating.
