NUIG to host choral reunion

Written by Administrator

Wednesday, 29 August 2007

A reunion to celebrate 40 years of choral singing at NUI, Galway will be held in the university from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 September.

Cór an Choláiste will host a weekend of meetings and rehearsals, which will culminate in a choral performance on the evening of Saturday 29 September. In addition to the current conductor, Thomas Cryan, former university choir conductors, Peter Mannion (BSc 2006), Dr Brendan O’Connor (BSc 1982, PhD 1985) and John Murphy (BA 1970), will return to conduct graduate groups in this performance.

The concert will also include a guest performance by Cois Cladaigh and traditional music performances from society members from the relevant years. This performance will be free and open to the public.

Hundreds of UCG/NUI Galway graduates were members of, or associated with, the various university choirs over the years. Unfortunately many of their names do not appear on the university’s mailing list. To ensure that everyone interested is given an opportunity to participate, the organisers have asked that anyone with information contact the NUI, Galway Alumni Office with contacts of choir members.

Tickets to participate in the Choral Alumni Reunion Weekend are €20 per person.
