Tenor and Bass Workshop, Tuesday 8th Sept.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to sing in a choir? On Tuesday, 8 September at 7.30pm, Dun Laoghaire Choral Society will open the rehearsal room doors for a special workshop for tenor and bass voices at St Patrick's Parish Centre, Monkstown.
Led by our Music Director, John Doyle, the evening will give you a genuine taste of life at DLCS. You'll experience the energy, camaraderie and thrill of singing with others, while exploring music from Bach, Fauré and Schubert, and maybe a traditional Irish favourite.
Whether you're an experienced singer, or you sang years ago, or you are curious to see what choral singing is all about, you'll be very welcome. Anyone interested in coming to the workshop should fill out the form here. Please email secretarydlcs@gmail.com with any queries.

Although you are not required to have had formal voice lessons, all members are expected to be able to sing on pitch, in accurate rhythm, and to have reasonable sight-reading skills.
