Orchestra & Choirs
The Blackrock College Orchestra and Choirs take part in many music competitions, festivals and events throughout the school year such as the Wesley Music Festival, Feis Ceoil, Battle of the Bands, Leman Concert, Graduation and many more. This has led to many awards and opportunities for students, such as singing with Andrea Bocelli in the 3Arena and performances on RTE.
