Community Sing is an open, drop-in choir for everyone in the community. It's free and open to all! No registration required. February's session is 'Irish Song & Storytelling' with Breda McCarthy.
In our February Community Sing session, participants will explore Irish song and storytelling, with insight into sean-nós, one of Ireland’s oldest musical traditions. Through call-and-response, singers will learn a piece aurally, experiencing firsthand how traditional music was passed down through generations in Ireland.
