Teen Spirit comes to Cork

TWO hundred Kerry teenagers, as well as choirs and guest singers from Cork and Limerick, will stage Teen Spirit 111 at Cork Opera House this Sunday, April 10.

Two recent performances at the INEC in Killarney attracted audiences totalling 3,000 people who enjoyed a lively show featuring hits from the 1950s to the present day.

Teen Spirit, described as a celebration of teen talent and Christian faith, is a project which involves a collaboration of teenage choirs from different parishes and schools. There are also solo performances on the day.

The production addresses faith issues for young people in a modern way through music, audiovisual reflections, drama and dance.

Those taking part are from Scoil Phobail Inbhear Scéine, Kenmare; Colaiste Íde, Dingle; Milltown Youth Choir; Intermediate Secondary School, Killorglin; Tarbert Comprehensive Secondary School, Colaiste na Sceilige, Caherciveen; Scoil Phobail Sliabh Luachra, Rathmore along with singers from Castleisland, Abbeyfeale and Moyross in Limerick.

The teenagers also have an input into selecting the songs which they deem appropriate for a family show and have an inspirational feel to them.
