Tour to Canada

In July 2007 the choir travelled to St John's, Newfoundland to take part in the sixth biennial Festival 500, an international non-competitive festival of choral music, which concentrated on Celtic influences.

The choir performed in five concerts, including the Grand Finale with a massed chorus of 1500 voices. In support of the Celtic theme to the festival, we took a number of pieces as Gaeilge by both established and upcoming Irish composers.
