GLÓR Youth Choir Performed
On RTE1 Television - Christmas Day
GLÓR Youth Choir Conducted by Ciaran Brady, and Tullamore Presbyterian Church
led by Rev. William Hayes, had the privilege and honour to have been invited by
RTE, to perform on RTE1 Television’s Christmas Day Service 2018.
The talented Youth choir made up of secondary school age members from throughout
the midlands took a very exciting trip to the RTÉ Television Studios, a few
Sundays before Christmas, where they enjoyed a full day recording an hour long
Service of festive Christmas Carol’s. It was broadcast on Christmas Day at 11am
on RTE1.
This considerable privilege and honour was bestowed on the choir following an
end of Summer Radio broadcast last May with Tullamore Presbyterian Church also
led by Rev. William Hayes that the choir recorded for RTE Radio1.
Although only being in existence for a little over 2 years now, the choir has
achieved enormous success.
They claimed first prize in the Junior Youth Choir competitions at Kilkenny
Choral Festival in 2017 and were hugely successful as placed trophy winners out
of 19 choirs in Ireland’s “National Youth Choir of the Year 2017”.
Last year, 2018, was extremely busy as the choir achieved 2 Second places in the
Junior Sacred Music and Secondary Schools/Youth competitions at Navan Choral
Festival last March, and since resuming rehearsals in September, the choir have
achieved a very competitive 4th place at Wale’s international choral competition
in November.
This year GLÓR Youth choir plan on expanding their technical repertoire and
participating in further competitive performances.
