After another memorable year filled with music, friendship and unforgettable performances, Lisburn Community Children’s Choir has officially wrapped up its 13th year with a fun-filled treasure hunt and end-of-year party in Castle Gardens.

The celebrations marked the end of what has been a truly outstanding year for the community choir.

Young singers delighted audiences at four sell-out concerts – two magical Christmas concerts and hugely successful spring performances in March – showcasing the talent, enthusiasm and dedication that has become synonymous with the choir.

Over the past 13 years, Lisburn Community Children’s Choir has provided children with far more than the opportunity to sing.

The choir continues to help young people grow in confidence, develop a lifelong love of music and create lasting friendships, while giving them the chance to perform in some of Northern Ireland’s most prestigious venues, including the Island Centre, the Ulster Hall and Lisburn Cathedral.

The choir is now looking forward to welcoming new members when rehearsals resume in September.

There are no auditions – the only requirement is that children can hold a tune and have a love of singing. Membership is open to children from Primary 4 through to Year 10 (Third Year).

The new season promises another exciting programme of performances.

Members will begin preparing for Joyful, a festive concert alongside Lisburn Community Choir at Lisburn Cathedral this December, before turning their attention to an exciting Disney-themed concert with the adult choir in April next year.

Children’s Choir Director, Rosie Irvine, encourages families to consider joining if their child enjoys singing and would benefit from building confidence, making new friends and taking part in exciting performance opportunities.

The choir rehearses term time, every Monday from 6.30pm to 7.25pm at Lisburn Cathedral.

Members also enjoy a range of fun incentives throughout the year, including loyalty cards that reward regular attendance and commitment.

If your child loves to sing and would like to become part of a welcoming and supportive musical community, Lisburn Community Children’s Choir would love to hear from you.
