[/caption] Admission to the choir, conducted by the respected Artistic Director Greg Beardsell, is very difficult and requires high levels of musical precision and performance. Kerrie has been a member of the Ulster Youth Training Choir and has sung regularly at school events, such as the recent Carol Service, and at other functions. She has also recorded her own CD. Kerrie is looking forward to the intensive rehearsals during the summer and says she enjoys a range of musical genres, from the classical repertoire to songs from the shows (she played the role of the Mother Abbess in Down High School’s recent production of The Sound of Music). Kerrie added, “I really enjoy singing and feel pleased to have been accepted into such a high-profile choir”.
