| d A day to remember - RTE Vanbrugh String Quartet visit St Agnes!  Words and pictures don't begin to do justice to this amazing day when the RTE Vanbrugh String Quartet came to St Agnes. The St Agnes' quartets from 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th class were invited, along with their parents and some very keen players from other classes. Every seat in the cookery room was filled. The programme included Bartok, Borodin, Shostakovitch! After the concert, the quartet was literally mobbed as the children asked for autographs.  Players
from 4th class rehearse before the Vanbrugh String Quartet arrive -
later on all the quartets will play one piece together at the beginning
of the workshop
 Audience
gathers ... in the audience were a small number from the Parents'
Orchestra, parents of players in St Agnes' string quartets and
the quartet players themselves, with a tiny number of really keen
players in other classes.  Pauline, Eimear and Nicole are enjoying every minute of the day!
 What next? Kelsey looks as though she is about to join the quartet! Dev Karan and Joseph talk to Keith who plays 2nd violin in the quartet  Paddy,
Nick, Lisa, Matt and Margaret from St Agnes' Parents' String Orchestra
have come in time to get a seat, and look forward to the concert!
