RTÉjr Radio presents a live broadcast and videocast of Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince by the Donegal Youth Orchestra & Donegal Youth Choir

Donegal Youth Orchestra and Choir perform a re-working of Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince with narration by Little John Nee on RTÉjr Radio on Friday 18 May at 2pm. The concert will be available to listen to on RTÉjr Radio and it will also be videocast live on the RTÉjr Radio website.

Working from an existing text, composer Vincent Kennedy and writer, actor and musician Little John Nee were asked to write and perform an orchestral/narrated Donegal adaptation of Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince. It is an exciting and beautiful performance of music and storytelling, directed by Raymond Keane. The performance will last for 50 minutes and explores the timeless themes of love, friendship and compassion.

My Arsenal Trip

Hi my name is Cian O'Sullivan, RTÉjr Radio sports reporter, and this is about seeing my favourite Premier League team Arsenal for the first time ever last month. It was mega exciting getting off the plane, and we arrived pretty early so we took loads of pictures and really enjoyed the build-up. The game was really exciting too, Newcastle scored early on, but Arsenal responded straight away and the half-time score was 1-1. It was starting to get a bit annoying; they couldn't find the net a second time. But in the 95th minute they found the net. I screamed my head off. It was unbelievable. I'll definitely go again. It was one of the greatest days of my life.

Daráine's Activity Hour

11am - 12pm Monday to Friday, repeated at 2pm

Toddlers love to walk, run and jump around! Dancing and moving are fun activities that you can do to help with babies and toddlers’ coordination and development. The ‘Activity Hour’ on RTÉjr Radio is designed to help parents at home with children, crèches and preschools to encourage children to move and participate with music – even if its only wiggling their toes!

We have carefully chosen music that is fun, and promotes movement and self awareness. Some songs just encourage jumping around and shouting while other songs talk about feelings and emotions.

Daráine, the presenter of the show, has been broadcasting on RTÉjr Radio since the beginning! She works in Young People’s programmes in television and is working with young children on a daily basis.

We hope you and the children enjoy The Activity Hour.
