Saint George’s Arts and Heritage Centre, Mitchelsto­wn is delighted to welcome back our friends in the Lismore Choir for our fourth anniversar­y concert - One Enchanted Evening with Lismore Choir and Guests, on Saturday, May 20th.

This night will feature light classics and pop favourites, showcasing the varied and energetic repertoire of the performers. Joining Lismore Choir on the night will be guests - Sarah O’Mahony, soprano and Frank Ryan, tenor all under the musical direction of John Casey.

Followers of the Centre will remember Lismore Choir performed a memorable inaugural concert in 2019, right at the beginning of this project's whirlwind adventure. The return performanc­e will be one not to be missed. As with the changes and growth in Lismore Choir over those four years, there have been one or two changes to Saint George’s in that period also.

The Lismore choir is a friendly mixed choir of all ages more than 35 strong. The choir usually performs two major concerts a year; its Christmas celebratio­n at Lismore Castle every December and a Spring concert often in Lismore Cathedral, as well as performing at various community functions in Munster.
