The Kuchcke concert was a great success on Sunday 14 June: beautiful Balkan harmonies soaring effortlessly, to a packed audience who thoughly enjoyed the rare treat of unaccompanied singers. The singers thoroughly enjoyed the amazing acoustics of the building: not only could they hear themselves and eachother perfectly but the great acoustics produced a natural reverberation allowing their voices to blend with amplyfying overtones! A real treat for this first event of St Columba's new incarnation at Ionad Solas Eige.
Still reeling from this lovely experience, the Solas Eige Trustees were overjoyed to hear the next day that their application to the Pilgrim trust was successful, matching the funds already awarded by the Architectural Heritage Trust. The development phase can now start in earnest and should reach completion this September... Another milestone reached!
