KERRY Choral Union and Duhallow Choral Society, with soloists Miriam Murphy, Paula Murrihy and accompanis­t Ian Sexton will perform their annual ‘O Holy Night’ Concert in St. John’s the Baptist Church, Castle Street Tralee on December 9 at 7:30pm. This is a very exciting programme which will have performanc­es by a joint choir of 130 voices, and two internatio­nally renowned soloists.

Soprano Miriam Murphy is returning once again to her home town to add to the festivitie­s. Miriam is one of the foremost sopranos in the country who performs worldwide.

This year, Mezzo Soprano Paula Murrihy will be joining Miriam and the choirs to sing in the Concert. Paula Murrihy’s attendance this year will add another exciting musical element to the evening.

This Concert will contain many of the Christmas favourites such as Silent Night, and O Holy Night, as well as an unusual arrangemen­t of The Wexford Carol and a musical rendition of Scarlett Ribbons by the male voices.

The Musical Director will be Sharon Reidy who conducts both the choirs. The performanc­es will be accompanie­d by profession­al accompanis­t Ian Sexton.

So save the date - December 9 - and let Kerry Choral Union herald the sounds of Christmas in style.
