Glór an Phobal – A Nations Voice will be one of the highlights of the 1916 commemorations and local choir The Academy Chamber Choir is honored to have been chosen to represent the midlands.

On Easter Sunday 2016, in Collins Barracks, Dublin, Tullamore Academy Chamber Choir will be among the one thousand voices from all over Ireland presenting a major new orchestral and choral work composed by Shaun Davey and Paul Muldoon. Under conductor David Brophy and joined by the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra this free concert will be without a doubt a highlight of the 1916 commemorations.

On Saturday 23^rd January the choir had its first group rehearsal in the Helix, DCU with all the other voices.  It is a magnificent honour for the choir to be part of such a momentous occasion and it was certainly felt during a very productive rehearsal. Not only will the choir perform a new choral work, but the singers will also perform the Hallelujah Chorus. This should certainly raise the roof with 1,000 people singing it together!

The choir is having a tremendous few months, after the successful launch of its first CD and having welcomed in some new members, the choir is going from strength to strength.
