Kenmare Choral Festival
Following the success of the Choral Festival last year, The Kenmare Choral Festival Committee is extending a warm welcome to all choirs to come and participate in the 2013 Kenmare Choral Festival from the 30th November to 1st December 2013.
It is expected a variety of beautiful art form and choral music will be brought to the local public and visitors alike through concerts, competitions and other events on the weekend.
As last year, there will be four competitions in the 2013 Festival:
Light Entertainment,
Chamber Choirs (up to 30 voices)
Church Music,
Large Choirs (25 voices and above).
Áine Nic Ghabhann and her family have kindly sponsored a new perpetual trophy for the Kenmare Choral Festival. The Beirtí Ó Núnáin Memorial trophy will be awarded for the best competitive or non-competitive performance of a song in the Irish Language (not a translation).
The adjudicators this year are as follows: Áine Nic Ghabhann, Martin Barrett, and Ben Hanlon.
Finally, in the spirit of the Gathering, a sincere welcome is also extended to the Irish people, home and abroad, to come to Kenmare this November to experience first-hand this amazing art form and be part of the music and festivities.
