An Evening of Music in Support of Sólás

The Northern Ireland Opera Chorus will be performing at a fundraising evening in The Ulster Hall for Sólás.

Established in 2009, Sólás is a special needs charity which supports children and young people with a broad range of additional needs including Autism. They are based in South Belfast; however, their work extends across Northern Ireland.

The Northern Ireland Opera Chorus will be performing a fifteen minute set alongside Hard Rain Soloist Ensemble, M’ANAM, The Ulster Consort and The Cross Border Youth Orchestra. The children of Sólás will also perform a new composition by Matthew Owens.
