Competing against winners from the choral categories, the group was ultimately awarded the overall title, among 30 youth and school choirs from across Ireland, scoring a total of 94%.
The performance featured soloist Cera Maloney, a second-year student, and the choir was accompanied by the distinguished composer and organist Aleksandr Nisse.
Following their success, the choir has been invited to perform at the National Concert Hall this June as part of the Feis Ceoil Gala Concert.
