We had so much fun last week that we only completed 3 of our 6 rounds. Further participants very welcome to augment existing teams. No great knowledge required as questions are eclectic, to say the least !!

No fees, no prizes - only enjoyment and light relief. 

To keep us sane in these trying times, each rehearsal will start with a social room for around 10 minutes. We will follow this with a warm up, sectionals and group singing. We also intend to have a short break in the middle of the rehearsal when we will do non-singing activities, fun or educational 

On 21 June last, over 20 members of Tallaght Choral Society performed an impromptu (socially distanced !) rendition of the specially commissioned ‘’Ode to Joy’’ on the steps of the Dominican Priory to voice our support for the frontline workers who have performed, and continue to perform, Trojan work on the Covid 19 pandemic.

This event was part of the national effort of support which was created, organised and curated by Professor Jimmy Cavanagh, a previous longstanding conductor with TCS. Visit Twitter: @TallaghtChoral to hear us singing Ode to Joy. A short article also appeared in the Tallaght Echo 

Rehearsals restart early to help us be in good voice for our upcoming Baroque concert on 19 January.

This concert will be followed by a series of rehearsals for Jenkins ''The Armed Man'' which TCS will perform in May 2020.

During this term there will also be some help for those members participating in the massed choir performance of The Messiah in Halle, Germany.

A community celebration of carols and readings with Tallaght Choral Society, Tallaght Christian Choir, the Children Choir, the Polish Choir and the Congregation.

Afterwards, Tallaght Choral Society move, around 6pm, to Molloys-The Foxes Covert to perform a short seasonal medloey of songs and carols

This Mass is to remember that it is fifty years since the extended Priory Church was consecrated and blessed.
The fledgling Tallaght Choral Society provided the music for that ceremony.
It is fitting that we sing again on First Sunday of Advent to celebrate these fifty years!

Thinking of singing?

We are starting to prepare and plan for our gorgeous Baroque concert in 2020 and for our trip to Halle, Germany where we will sing Messiah with over 400 singers .

Interested in giving it a go ?

A delightful performance of 'Saint Nicolas' by Benjamin Britten in conjunction with the Belfast Philharmonic Youth Choir 

To celebrate our 50th anniversary as a choir, TCS and friends travelled to Rome in October 2017 with music, merriment and magic in mind. We believe we achieved these three objectives with great gusto !

We started off with an Evensong Service in All Saints, Anglican Church, near Piazza del Popolo. This very welcoming church and congregation really helped us to enjoy singing this lovely music.

We then participated at Mass in San Clemente Basilica. This was a truly enjoyable day not least due to the enthusiasm and warmth of Prior, Fr. Tom McCarthy, OP. His personal and knowledgable tour of the 12th century basilica, over the 4th century basilica and down further to the 1st century Roman crypt, was, for many, the highlight of the trip. He allowed us sing 'Locus Iste' to savour the ecoustics of the 4th century area.

The final musical performance was our participation in the concelebrated Mass at St. Peter's Basilica. An awesome venue and an occasion to be remembered.

Outside the musical experiences, we had an absolute ball. We saw the usual sights, Colliseum, Sistine Chapel, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Forum, Borghese, pickpockets churches, paintings, hawkers, great punky guides, sunshine and Ophelia. We followed the maxim 'eat, drink and be merry' to the letter. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to the next outing and bonding session.  

We at Tallaght Choral Society are delighted to bring you a packed schedule of performances in the lead up to Christmas.
