Classic Harmony at Whale Theatre

CLASSIC Harmony (formerly the Kelly Family Vocal Ensemble) comes from Ashford and will perform at Whale Theatre on Saturday, June 16 at 8 p.m.

This vocal ensemble are all members of one family and have sung together since the young people were very small and now produce a unique blended sound born of our familial relationship. Four out of five members of the group are vision-impaired. Including father, Frank who is a musical director of five choirs in Wicklow and a choir for blind and vision-impaired people in Dublin.

The group sings in close harmony, a cappella and with instrumental accompaniment on piano, keyboard, guitar, harp and tin whistle.

The ensemble has won many competitions including the Family Ensemble category at the Feis Ceoil in Dublin three years in a row and second prize at the Derry International Choral Festival in 2016 and 2017.

They have appeared on television on RTE, TV3 and TG4 and on national and local radio. They have performed in concerts at local venues, at the National Concert Hall and at venues around the country including, most recently, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh and St Columba’s Long Tower in Derry. The Ensemble covers music from a wide range of genres from classical to traditional/celtic and popular/jazz styles; and Christmas music from ancient to modern.

Tickets are €15 or €12 concession and available at whaletheatre.ie or 01 2010550.
