Renaissance is a Belfast-based Chamber Choir, formed in 1976 by the late Ronnie Lee MBE. The Choir will be performing 'Music for a Royal Occasion’ which celebrates the rich musical heritage of Irish and British composers who have contributed their exquisite works to royal occasions, spanning weddings, birthdays, and coronations. In this year of the coronation the choir wished to mark the special occasion as well as remember the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The concert will be at St Mark's Church in Portadown, Co Armagh on September 30. Photo by Joshua Booth.
