Sing your heart out with the Singers Choir! Our Singers Choir is a vibrant mixed-voice choir located in the heart of the City. Sing an eclectic mix of rock and pop hits (lots from the 80s and 90s!), beautiful folk songs and stunning contemporary choral works.
Boost your confidence and expand your range with weekly sessions with our Musical Director, Eamonn O’Dwyer. Your vocal skills will grow, as well as your social life, as you make friends for life in our bubbly choir.
If you’re interested in Singers Choir, you must attend a taster session. During the taster, you will attend a regular drop in rehearsal and meet the rest of the group. The Musical Director will also take the opportunity to hear you sing and assess your suitability for the group. Following the taster, our team will inform you via email if you have been accepted.
