News Story ~ 100 Singers at Come and Sing event!

November 15, 2011

On Saturday 12 November, over 100 singers gathered in St Bartholomew's Church in Dublin to sing Fauré Requiem and Mendelssohn's Hear my prayer.

It was extremely encouraging that so many people were there to share the experience. The performance at 5pm was preceded by a rehearsal and an opportunity to meet new people and to catch up with old friends. We were delighted to welcome singers from as far afield as Waterford and Newry as well as many people from the Dublin area.

The afternoon was conducted by Stuart Nicholson, and the organist was Tristan Russcher. Soloists Jeffrey Ledwidge and Rachel Talbot were joined by a number of the choir of St Bartholomew's Church.

Following the event, many people asked when the next event would be. Needless to say the committee will be making plans for a future event building on the success of this one.
