Concert at Millicent Golf Club to help raise funds for the TStaplestown Choir and Every Voice Choir, Clane

Saturday, 11 May at 8.00pm, ,

Funds raised at this event will help provide respite for caregivers and home-based programmes for people suffering from dementia. 

Every Voice Choir, Clane, was an initiative developed by a nurse at Naas Hospital, Vanessa Lynch, who noted a common theme voiced by patients – a great love of music and singing, and its power to connect.  She approached community representatives in Clane and so the choir was formed in early 2018.  It now has 25-30 steady members who meet weekly to chat and sing and perform a range of material.   Staplestown Choir, a 20-strong chorus and a mixed 4-part choir, was founded in 1996. They sing at 11.15am mass every Sunday.  

 Tickets are available on Eventbrite and cost €15.00.
