\"\"<\/a>Music in the Priory, Sciolto takes place at the Priory Newtownards Sunday 12th<\/sup> May. Sciolto Chamber Choir was formed in 1996 by a group of like-minded singers who wished to explore the wide variety of choral music written for small chamber ensembles. In keeping with the name (which means ‘free and unrestrained’), the choir has performed every conceivable type of choral music from early Renaissance music through to brand new commissions by emerging composers. Restored by Hugh Montgomery shortly after his arrival in Ards in 1606, the Priory became his home, his church and his burial place. In this unique series of atmospheric evening musical recitals, the ancient walls of the Priory will once again resonate to the sounds created by choirs of 12 voices and instruments. \u00a0For all our County Down events click\u00a0HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
