Preparations for our upcoming concert series are in full flight! The complete programme consists of Hodie, Fantasia on Christmas Carols, Serenade to Music and Willow-Wood, all by the renowned British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. The performance of the Christmas cantata Hodie will be only the third ever in Ireland and the first in 28 years! Choral is extremely proud to present the Irish premiere of Willow-Wood, a cantata for orchestra and baritone solo that has only been performed live once before.

The Michaelmas Term concerts will take place in the Examination Hall, Trinity College Dublin on Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th November 2010, with tickets priced at €15 or €10 concession. For more information, do not hesitate to contact us.

Also, there is still time to become a Friend of the Society in advance of the upcoming concert series. Friendship includes two complimentary tickets to the final concert of each term and entry to the pre-concert Friends reception. Click here for further information.

Many thanks to all who came to our first rehearsal last Wednesday – it was a very impressive attendance! Apologies again for the situation with the scores, but this should be resolved for this week’s rehearsal. Since it is still only the second week of term, we would also like to mention that new members are still welcome to join. Just show up at our rehearsal on Wednesday in Regent House (above Front Arch).  Since we will need to distribute scores to all members this Wednesday, we ask everyone to arrive by 6.45 pm if possible. Hope to see you all on Wednesday!
