Support Dun Laoghaire Choral Society
Welcome to our Patrons / Friends of DLCS Information page.
Our income is generated from members’ annual subscription fees, concert-ticket sales and the generous donations from our individual and corporate Patrons.
We are most grateful to all our current Patrons who support us loyally every year and we are always delighted to welcome, and benefit, from new Patrons.
The crucial support from our Patrons has allowed us to grow and develop, year-on-year, so that we now consistently perform locally at the high standard that our audiences have come to know and enjoy. Your generosity as a Patron helps us to continue to perform the innovative, challenging and moving music work that we are committed to.
Every year we perform 4 concerts, one of which is our annual Messiah for All in Monkstown.
Your Patronage allows us to:
● Work with local and international soloists and musicians of the highest standard,
● Hold workshops when we focus on developing vocal and performance techniques,
● Stage performances that enhance the audience's experience. For example, in May 2025, we performed a semi-staged version of Mascagni's Cavaliera Rusticana to a full house in Monkstown.
What are the benefits for you?
● Becoming a Patron of DLCS gives you the satisfaction of supporting the development of your local choir to bring wonderful music to life
● Patrons have the best seats reserved for our concerts, including 2 for our annual Messiah for All.
Becoming a Patron:
So why not become a Patron and work in collaboration with us to bring amazing music projects to life and support the arts in our local community? It is also an excellent gift for someone you know who is a choral enthusiast!
