In 2014 RTE commissioned a documentary made by the conductor David Brophy to highlight the plight of people experiencing homelessness and how music and collective singing can be a healing bond.
David found men and women from the hostels in Waterford that took part and the Waterford High Hopes Choir was born. Today we are still going strong with a membership that still includes some of the founder members. We sing to support people experiencing homelessness and suffering with mental health issues and addictions.
From an initial group of just ten members, the choir has gone from strength to strength and now has 50 singers. The choir's wide, varied repertoire is drawn from around the world. The choir is directed by Cian O’Carroll and ably assisted by Cecilia Kehoe as accompanist. The choir rehearses on Tuesdays from 8pm at Glor Na Mara Primary School, Tramore, Co. Waterford.
