1 TOUR PROSPECTUS IRELAND ROLLO DILWORTH CHORAL FESTIVAL Dublin & Belfast with tour to London JUNE - JULY Your World of Music

2 WELCOME MESSAGE Ireland has a magic allure hard to define and describe. Consider joining me as we meet the people of Dublin and Belfast. We will immerse ourselves in their culture and share the music of both lands in our gala and individual concerts. International festivals of this nature are wonderful ways for singers to take the world stage, sing in larger settings and grander venues as well as to present their own choir s gifts and talents. I look forward to working with you as we go in search of the four leaf clover - Rollo Dilworth 2 in Ireland 2015
