SFTHOI is an a cappella choir of people who love to sing and who want to learn to do it better and with other people. It generates its energy and laughter from the heady mixture of good vocal technique, genuine teamwork and rock ‘n’ roll. The individual satisfaction comes when people achieve things they never thought they’d do. To join, the requirements are simple - that you can sing in tune and you want what SFTHOI is selling!

SFTHOI rehearses weekly on Wednesdays from 8 to 10pm in Dundrum Methodist Church, Ballinteer Road, D16.

The choir currently has 34 members. We rehearse once a week and enjoy singing a wide variety of music from “Teenager in Love” by Dion & The Belmont’s to Mozarts Alleluia. Initially we sang just for ourselves and our own enjoyment but over the last 2 years we decided to go public. We now look forward to rehearsing and performing at our Christmas and Summer Concerts.

The Choir boasts a repertoire that spans musical works from Seventeenth Century composers Monteverdi and Bach to Twentieth Century Stravinsky and Britten. Comprising approximately 60 singers, membership is drawn from the entire south-east region and the group have collaborated with a number of other choral societies throughout the country.
