Rehearsals Resume 8th September – New Members Welcome

  By

We hope you all enjoyed the Summer break. But I’m sure you missed the singing too – now it’s time to start rehearsing again. We start on Thursday 8th September in Wesley House, Leeson Park at 7:30pm as usual.

It seems odd to be thinking about Christmas already, but we need to get working on the pieces for our Christmas concert. There’ll be lots of new stuff to learn and old favourites to remember.

New Members are welcome. If you think you might like to sing with us, come along and give it a try.

CONCERT 28 May 2022

Gloria and Requiem

 

CULWICK CHORAL SOCIETY PRESENTS

Gabriel Fauré: Requiem
Antonio Vivaldi: Gloria

Culwick Choral Society
Conductor: David Leigh

St. Patrick’s Cathedral
Saturday 28th May 2022 at 8pm

Admission: €25
Tickets available at www.eventbrite.ie

We’re delighted to be back singing major choral works, so Vivaldi’s lively Gloria is a great way to celebrate. Written in about 1715, it is a song of praise to God which is both boisterous and in other places contemplative.

We’re also conscious of the hard times we’ve all had to endure over the last two years, with many of us losing friends or loved ones. Fauré’s Requiem was written to console the bereaved – its unusual 20th-century harmonies make it one of the most beautiful and popular choral works.

We Are Back!

We are delighted to have returned to live rehearsals following a year and a half of online rehearsals. It has been such a difficult time for so many people and it is so good to be back in the rehearsal room together to celebrate life through singing!

If you love to sing then we would love to have you as a member. Under the direction of our esteemed Musical Director, David Leigh, we are now preparing for our Christmas concert which will take place in Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in December.

We rehearse on Thursdays at 7.30 pm, close to the city centre. If you are interested just message us here or email our registrar: culwickregistrar@gmail.com
