enviable reputation as one of Ireland's most outstanding choirs, and is
constantly in demand to perform in concerts, on tours and on radio

Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Waterford
The cathedral choir numbers some 20 singers and is robed. There is a
weekly rehearsal on Thursays at 6pm and a short rehearsal before the
10am service on Sunday mornings. As is the tradition in many churches
they sing a setting of the Eucharist and a communion anthem on the first
and third Sundays on the month and Matins on the second with a setting
of at least one of the canticles together with the psalm and other
music. On the fourth Sunday (Service of the Word) a junior choir takes
over in the morning while the choir sings a traditional Choral Evensong
at 7pm with an introit, settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimmittis,
an anthem, sung responses and special organ music. On Easter Sunday they
will sing a special Festival Eucharist which will include the Coronation
Mass and Laudate Dominum while the voluntary will be the Fantasia and
Fugue in F minor. If you are interested in joining the choir, please

Waterford Male Voice Choir
now in its sixth year and since its inception has created quite a stir
in music circles in the South East. From an initial group of just ten
members, the choir has grown from strength to strength and now boasts a
membership of over forty members. However the choir soon realised that
it had the potential to be far more than originally thought, performing
in two concerts and competing in the New Ross AIMS Festival in its first
year. Since then it has performed in many local concerts including the
annual Male Voice Choirs of Waterford Concert, performed with the Garda
Band and various visiting international groups and has travelled twice
to perform in festivals in Wales. The choir has also had many successes
at competitions; last year alone it received first places in both the
Arklow and New Ross Choral festivals and was in the prizes in the Cork
choral festival
