Members Directory

SYC is for young singers aged eight to thirteen (3rd class to 6th class). Boys and girls learn musical literacy as well as important life skills. Our aim is to foster a love of music while enabling our young singers to carry their new skills through life by being literate in reading music to a high standard. The music we sing is wide-ranging and varied, from folk to classical and popular music. We are committed to educating young singers in musicianship in tandem with developing a healthy approach to using the voice.

Having shared the stage with wonderful acts over the years, such international opera star Russell Watson, piano virtuoso David Syme, The White Horse Guitar Club, James Kilbane and Amanda Neri and many more, the choir have enjoyed some memorable performances around the country and further afield.

Sean Rowland, our fantastic Choir Director has been with the choir almost from its inception. In April 2019, GMIT Voices won the New Choir section of the SCCUL Santuary Choir Factor competition and have performed at functions within GMIT. We are looking forward to more competitions and performing outside GMIT in the future. Due to its popularity, a student choir will commence in September 2019 also with Sean Rowland as Director, and supported by the Students Union

Its first performances are to be given during October 2019, when it will sing music by Bruckner and Randall Thompson during masses in St Mary’s Church, Pope’s Quay, and Saints Peter & Paul’s Church, Cork. MusiCórum's projects for 2020 include programmes presenting music by Rheinberger (two mass settings, performed either side of one of his string quartets), by Parry (the set of six Songs of Farewell, interspaced by readings from a lecture given by one of his most distinguished pupils, Hubert Howells), and by Mozart (the “Dominican” Vespers). For further information please see the choir’s Facebook page (MusiCórum, Cork).

We have 2 performances booked for December 2019. We are a group of friendly, positive individuals who love to sing. There are no auditions and new members will be made feel very welcome. Email with any queries.

Established in 2005, our members are united by faith, fun and friendship and enjoy meeting weekly for relaxed yet musically interesting rehearsals during the academic term.

Membership of the Choir is open to all over 18 years of age. There is no audition process however, we would ask any newbies to be able to sing back a note! Join us at the I.F.A. Centre, Mill Park Road, Enniscorthy any Wednesday at 8pm should you wish to give Gospel singing a go!

We have between 40 and 50 members from all over Dublin in the choir. We rehearse on a Sunday evening at 7.30 to 9.30 in the Parish Hall at the rear of the Church of the Three Patrons, Rathgar. We are always interested in welcoming new members to join us. Some choral experience and an ability to sight read is an advantage, but not necessary.

Jubilate Choir was founded in 2010 by the then 16-year-old Killian Farrell, who formed the choir to perform Bach’s St. John Passion for the celebration of the jubilee of the parish of St. Pius X, Templeogue. He led the choir for its first 5 years, during which time the choir performed Bach Passions and the Mass in B minor, Brahms requiem as well as Haydn, and Mendelssohn oratorios.

Amy Ryan, the current musical director currently lectures in Music at Trinity College, Dublin and at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. She is in demand as a choral conductor and workshop facilitator, directing the Jubilate Choir, UCD Philharmonic Choir, award-winning chamber choir, Cuore, and the Irish-language ladies choir, Cór Duibhlinne. Amy has also worked with the Irish Youth Choir, the Irish Youth Chamber Choir, Lyric Opera Chorus, UCD Symphony Orchestra and the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra.

They first came into being in 2017 during the ‘Julianstown Community Music Festival’ when festival organiser Dorothy Alioth [director of the education and management company ‘KenDu music’] wanted to give ambitious local singers the chance to learn and perform music in 4-part harmony. Under the musical direction of Shane Barriscale, singers of all backgrounds and abilities performed two Mozart classics as part of the festival line-up.
Such was the enthusiasm from the singers at the time, that many of them wanted to continue singing together beyond the festival. Thus, the Rosemount Singers were formed (named after the house and estate in Rosemount, Julianstown where the choir rehearses every Tuesday morning).
Since 2017, they have performed in a number of concerts and events in Meath and Louth. They perform a variety of music ranging from early music by Tallis and Purcell, plainchant, all the way up to jazz classics by Gershwin, and christmas carols. We continue to give our ambitious singers the challenge of singing in 4-part, and sometimes 5-part harmony, but sight-reading is not a requirement. All our singers need is a good set of ears, a love of singing and an eagerness to dive right into the music-making. All are welcome!
