Cavan healthcare worker to have starring role with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra performance

A Cavan healthcare worker will have a starring role with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra at the National Concert Hall this evening.

Rebeca Sanchez, who works in Oak View Nursing Home in Belturbet, will perform a song and dance in a programme of works by Spanish composers.

Rebeca is a native of Seville in Spain, and the flamenco singer and dancer's routine will be live-streamed on rte.ie/culture and broadcast live on RTÉ Lyric FM at 7pm.

Ms Sanchez says she has received many good luck messages from residents at Oak View Nursing Home, and its Director of Care Geraldine Donohoe says the residents are in awe of her singing talents.
