‘Get Vocal’ to perform Bealtaine concert

A local choir, populated by older members of the community, will be lending their voices to this year’s Bealtaine Festival.

The ‘Get Vocal’ choir will perform a concert at Tinakilly House in Rathnew at 3 p.m. next Sunday, May 28.

The ‘Summer Songs’ concert will see County Wicklow’s Active Retired choir celebrate the arrival of summer as they sing songs for sunny days, including ‘Beautiful Dreamer’, ‘Oh What a Beautiful Morning’, ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love With You’ and ‘All Thing Bright and Beautiful’ as well as a very special first performance of ‘ The Moons’, a new composition for Bealtaine by poet Paula Meehan and composer Sean Doherty.

‘Get Vocal’ is a Wicklow County Arts Office project which brings together singers from Greystones, Annamoe and Tinahely for a series of workshops with choral directors Dara MacMahon, Grace Bergin and Bridget Kenny.

Tickets cost €10 (€8 concession) and are available from the Mermaid Arts Centre at 01 2724030 or /www.mermaidartscentre.ie.
