Bringing live music to the village of Dunshaughlin was the main aim of the Society and its whole ethos was, and is, about local involvement and development.

In the early years, we staged Musicals including “Oklahoma!”, ” Calamity Jane”, “South Pacific”, “Viva Mexico”, “Oliver”, “The Sound of Music” and “Singing in the Rain”. In recent years, we have competed at choral festivals in New Ross, Sligo, Cork and Navan.

We have sung in the National Concert Hall for President Mary Robinson, in “3,000 Voices in Concert” in Lansdowne Road under the baton of Gearoid Grant and again with him in “Voices of the World” in Rome. We were honoured by the presence of President Mary McAleese at our thirtieth anniversary concert.

Guest artistes who have participated in our concerts included Bernadette Greevy, Louis Browne, The Garda Band, Ronan Tynan, Paddy Cole, Kenneth Rice, Honor Heffernan, Joanna (of Tequila Sunrise fame) and Eurovision winner Paul Harrington.

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!
