St Paul’s Students acquire a place in the Ulster Youth Orchestra

March 1, 2011

Congratulations to Year 13 students Michael Mallon and Aisling Muckian who have gained a place in the Ulster Youth Orchestra in the percussion and strings sections respectively. Places only go to the very best students across N. Ireland and it is a testimony to their skills as a musician and total dedication to music that they have achieved this. Well done.
