Mayo's Rejoice Gospel Choir brings the summer spirit to Belleek
A very special musical treat is in store for the people of Ballina and beyond on Friday night, May 23, when the talented local Rejoice Gospel Choir stages what is set to be a spectacular summer concert in a truly magical venue.
Led by their new musical director, Jack Cronin, and joined by some very special guests, this much-loved local choir will showcase their diversity when they swap the choir stall of St. Patrick’s Church for the great hall of Belleek Castle for a performance that is sure to ignite the summer spirit.
With more than 25 years of experience to their name, this remarkable choir has honed a reputation for their musical brilliance and joyous performances through their regular contribution at Sunday Masses in St. Patrick’s Church in Ballina as well as countless appearances on TV and at festivals, concerts, fundraisers, etc., at local, national and international level.
Rejoice Gospel Choir likes to work hard, laugh loud and to enjoy everything that they do, and it comes as no surprise that this joyous ethos, coupled with their musical brilliance, has made their live performances a firm favourite with fans of music across north Mayo and beyond.
Their upcoming summer concert will see Rejoice showcase the true extent of their talents.
They are excited to be joined on the night by some very special guests and an extended group of talented local musicians, providing foot-tapping accompaniment to a diverse setlist that features everything from gospel classics - new and old - to some of the best loved anthems from Broadway and West End musicals as well as a fantastic array of contemporary covers of hits by artists ranging from Irish rock band, Aslan, to Country and Western queen, Dolly Parton.
All are most welcome to come along and enjoy Rejoice Gospel Choir’s summer concert at Belleek Castle on Friday night, May 23, from 8 p.m.
Tickets cost €20 and are available to purchase in advance from any choir member or from Ballina Tourist Office on Pearse Street.
