Kildare Singer To Join Women Impacted By Cancer For UN Day Concert

Kildare singer Barbra Hackett who will be performing with Sea of Change Choir at the RDS Nov 25th

Clane resident Barbra Hackett, who is living with stage four cancer and has been part of the choir for three years, said her diagnosis has given her a new perspective and appreciation for life.

A Kildare singer will take to the stage in Dublin next month as part of a choir made up of women who have been impacted by cancer.

Clane resident Barbra Hackett is among 55 members of the Sea of Change Choir, which will perform at the RDS Concert Hall on Wednesday, November 25th, alongside musical theatre performer Rebecca Storm.

Hackett, who is living with stage four cancer and has been part of the choir for three years, said her diagnosis has given her a new perspective and appreciation for life.

The concert will coincide with the UN's International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the beginning of the annual 16-day campaign against gender-based violence.

The Sea of Change Choir previously reached the headlines through Ireland's Got Talent and has since performed at venues including the European Parliament and Áras an Uachtaráin.

A portion of the proceeds from the Dublin concert will go to Safe Ireland.
