SUMMARY:St. Nicholas' Singers 'Come & Sing'
DESCRIPTION:The St. Nicholas Singers is an all-comers group of voices. Gatherings are project driven and aimed at singers who relish getting to grips with interesting choral music in a large four-part choir within an intensive preparation period. Projects can take place over a whole weekend or\, as in this event\, an afternoon. It is open to all regardless of age or experience\, and new members are always welcome. This Come and Sing introduces Tomos Watkins to Galway singers and also gives a taste of some of the St. Nicholas Singers events planned for next year. \nA note from our new Director of the Schola Cantorum\, Tomos Watkins: ‘The Road Not Taken’ by the wonderful American poet Robert Frost is an apt text for new beginnings. So I do hope you’ll join me for a Come-and-Sing afternoon on November 15th to sing Randall Thompson’s setting from Frostiana – which we’ll be singing next year in full – as well as some of my other favourite tunes. We will be exploring two other pieces from the Americas: an arrangement of the Shaker tune ‘Circle March’ by Glasgow-based composer Katy Lavinia Cooper\, and ‘Dulce Jesús mío\,’ a simple\, beautiful carol from sixteenth-century South America. If that wasn’t enough\, we have also programmed two movements from Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem: the opening movement and the iconic ‘Libera me.’ To whet your appetite\, you can listen to the music on Spotify here. I look forward to seeing you there! \nTomos Watkins \nDirector of the Schola Cantorum at St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church \nThe suggested donation of €20 includes all tuition\, scores and refreshments. As we want everyone to feel welcome to participate there is also a free option. Places can be booked via the calendar. Further information from Maureen Rabbitt at music@stnicholas.ie \n\n\n\nItinerary\n\n2PM: Start\n3:30PM: Break\n5:30PM: Family and friends are invited to join in for a run-through\n6PM: Finish\, with tea and chat for all\nTickets available from Fareharbor: https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/stnicholas/items/746414/calendar/?flow=1284635&full-items=yes

SUMMARY:Galway Messiah
DESCRIPTION:MUSIC FOR GALWAY AND RESURGAM PRESENT \nResurgam | Collegium | Vespera | St. Nicholas’ Singers | Children’s Chorus\nMark Duley\, director \nHandel’s Messiah \nGalway Messiah is a fresh approach to presenting Handel’s seasonal oratorio\, born right here in Galway in 2025 to overwhelming acclaim. It returns this year\, quickly becoming what will undoubtedly be an annual seasonal favourite. A performance by the people of Galway for the people of Galway\, this is a truly cross-community production in which amateur singers share a stage with Galway’s professional musicians\, all directed by Mark Duley. \nThis performance offers an opportunity to the St. Nicholas’ Singers and other adults and children throughout the community to work with Galway’s professional choir Resurgam and soloists\, and Galway’s baroque instrumental ensemble Vespera to bring a uniquely Galway performance to life. \nThe limited number of tickets will be much in demand\, so book early to join us for a truly unforgettable performance of Handel’s Messiah\, in St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church in the heart of medieval Galway! \nTickets available from musicforgalway.ie website. \nLIFES2GOOD FOUNDATION HAS PROVIDED SUPPORT TO MUSIC FOR GALWAY FOR THIS EVENT
