Gala Concert Monday Evening 17th June in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh
Joined by Valerie Whitworth & Guests

Join us for an inspiring weekend of harmony singing, which will be drawn from a whole range of music that will reflect the event.  Songs of hope from the African American Spirituals, Georgian Chants, uplifting Zimbabwean songs, inspiring Contemporary Jazz and World folk, Irish airs as well as new songs written for choirs by some of the Uk’s finest singers. Open to all men & women (over 18’s). No previous singing experience necessary only an open heart and a desire to sing.  As world leaders gather for their annual G8 summit in Enniskillen on Monday 17th June our intention is to have our voices heard.  To inspire hope and change.  To experience the joy and feeling of empowerment as we gather together in song, in a vibrant singing community drawn from all cultures and backgrounds lifting the spirits of everyone present.
