Cór Comáin, translated as ‘Roscommon Choir’, is an Upper Voice Choir established in September 2017 by Roscommon native, Derek Mahady. The choir chose the name which pays tribute both to Roscommon’s patron saint and to their proud Roscommon origins.
To date, the choir has helped to raise over €10,000 for charities including the Irish Motor Neurone Association and Western Alzheimers. In May 2018, Cór Comáin was awarded category winners in the First Time Competitors section of the Mayo International Choral Festival.
In May 2019, the choir travelled to the UK and performed alongside three London Choirs conducted by Hannah Brine in St. Stephen’s Church, Walbrook, City of London.
