Choir returning for 'Spring Serenade' concert in Birr next month
Following a successful debut performance in Birr last year, the Ballymore Connect Choir will return to the town for another uplifting concert next month.
The 'Spring Serenade' event will be held on Saturday, February 7, at 4pm in St Brendan’s Church of Ireland.
The local church will once again provide a beautiful setting for an afternoon of choral music drawn from the worlds of stage, screen and popular song.
Founded in 2019, the Ballymore Connect Choir is one of the largest community choirs in county Kildare. With a current membership of almost 100 singers (including Birr native Aoife Garry), over 60 voices will take part in this Birr performance.
Under the musical direction of Owen C Lynch, the choir presents a varied and engaging programme including 'What a Wonderful World', 'The Rainbow Connection', 'Red Is the Rose', 'You Are the Reason', 'Go Lassie Go' and 'Song Sung Blue', along with much-loved songs from musicals such as Oklahoma, Singin’ in the Rain, The Sound of Music and many more.
The choir performs regularly in concert and is passionate about fundraising for local charities. Proceeds from the event on February 7 will go to Offaly Hospice and the St Brendan’s Church of Ireland Restoration Fund.
Tickets are priced €15 plus booking fee (children €5). The concert is supported by Birr Festival of Music.
