New Season – 2020/21

August 29, 2020 By Aidan Kelly

It will be no surprise to visitors to this website that Bray Choral Society, similar to other groups and activities, has had to curtail its activities over the last few months. As restrictions still remain with regard to singing indoors, we are unable to resume activities as normal in September. Therefore, we, reluctantly, decided not to accept new members for the foreseeable future (experienced choral singers can make enquiries). Regrettably, this also means that there are currently no plans for any performances by the society. The society’s committee continues to keep the situation under review and looks forward to resuming full activities as soon as possible, with your continued support.

We wish you good health and look forward to welcoming you to a performance in the future.

Christmas Concert – 14th December 2019

November 4, 2019 By Aidan Kelly

Once again Bray Choral Society will perform a Christmas Concert this year.  The concert takes place in Christ Church, Church Road, Bray (a change to our usual venue) on Saturday the 14th of December at 8.00 pm.  This year the proceeds from the concert will go to the very worthy Bray based Five Loaves homeless charity (www.whfiveloaves.com).  We hope to have a full house on the night in order to maximise the benefit to Five Loaves.

The wonderful singing of the choir will this year be enhanced by a small orchestra courtesy of Alan Smale and friends (www.deganitrio.com/alan-smale).  The programme for the concert will feature a wide range of Christmas carols, both familiar and not so familiar.  There will also be the obligatory sample of Messiah choruses.  There will, of course, be opportunities for the audience to join in the singing.  As always the choir and orchestra will be conducted by our own Frank Kelly.

It promises to be a night that will get participants in the festive mood for the Christmas season.

Tickets: €15 from a choir member or on the door

We hope to see you there.

Meet and Greet 2019 – 20th August 7.30pm – New members welcome

August 13, 2019 By Aidan Kelly

Do you like to sing? Do you want to improve your health? Would you like to make new friends? Be brave, check us out.

Come along to Bray Choral Society’s open evening in the Martello Hotel, Bray Seafront, on Tuesday 20th August. Call in anytime between 7.30 and 9.30pm to find out more and talk to members about their experience of being a member of the choir. No singing required on the night. All over 18s welcome.  Do not worry if you cannot read music, many existing members do not, as we provide learning tracks to use alongside the score. 

We rehearse each Tuesday evening from 7.30 – 9.30pm in St Kilian’s School, Boghall Road, Bray, during school term time. We sing a wide variety of choral works, from classical to contemporary. In February 2019, we performed the Irish premiere of Howard Goodall’s ‘Invictus A Passion’ in both Dublin and Bray, and these choir members have been invited to premiere the work again in New York’s Carnegie Hall in 2020! 

The Society performs at least two concerts a year, Christmas and early summer, and holds various social evenings and events. We like to travel also, and most recently members participated in the Prague Summer Choral Meeting in early August.

We look forward to seeing you on the 20th August, you can find us on Facebook. Go on try us out, no commitment required until you are happy to join us.
