Pieta concert to unite Wicklow and Cork choirs
However, this year they have added another string to their bow in their efforts to support suicide-prevention charity Pieta.
'Choirs Unite for Pieta' promises to be one of the biggest local concerts of the year. Taking place at the Dominican College Wicklow, the concert will feature two award-winning choirs taking to the stage. Wicklow Male Voice Choir will perform on the night, under the musical direction of Anthony Norton. Founded in 1998, the choir's members mostly hail from Wicklow town and the surrounding areas. The choir has over 50 members and have performed in Ireland, Wales, France, Germany, and Poland. They also perform at local charity events, and their annual Christmas concert is very much part of the local festive programme for Wicklow town.
On the night they will be joined by special guests, the Duhallow Choral Society from Co Cork. Formed in 1996, the group have been honoured to have performed at the highest level, for many dignitaries and in a host of distinguished venues both at home and abroad.
'Choirs Unite for Pieta' takes place on Saturday, May 17, starting at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from Earls Newsagents or from any member of the choir and all Lions members. All children are welcome free of charge.
