A youth orchestra connects this 15-year-old County Down girl to people from different communities.
By Niall McCrackenThe passion of 15-year-old Cara is written all over her face as she takes her handmade violin from its case.I'm in Dundalk, County Louth, in the Republic of Ireland to watch her and more than 100 other young musicians rehearse ahead of a series of concerts.
