In a recent post on the Festival of Youth Orchestras, I included an audio interview with composer Vincent Kennedy who accepted a Special Achievement Award from the Irish Association of Youth Orchestras on behalf of a Donegal arts initiative.I am grateful to the composer for sending this video on the remarkable project, commissioned via the Per Cent for Art scheme.
The Happy Prince (Featuring Little John Nee, Vincent Kennedy, Donegal Youth Orchestra & Donegal Youth Choir) from Jeremy Howard on Vimeo.
I saw Little John Nee on several occasions in recent Glor, Ennis with the 'Derry Boat' and Johnny Patterson, The Irish Clown. Both were memorable, inventive and poiganant presentations and I regret I don't have a fuller record of them on this blog.
