Senior Music

On Friday, May 5th Loreto Balbriggan music students and their teachers had the amazing opportunity to attend the sound check in the 3 Arena before the Einaudi Concert. They got a lovely surprise when Ludovico then came front of stage to talk to them and he was really interested in how they were involved in music. He really connected with the students when he played some of his compositions that our piano players have enjoyed playing too. He really inspired the girls.
