University of Galway Alumni Ensemble are a graduate choir of singers from the University of Galway – formally NUI Galway. The members were all singers in the University Choral Society in the early noughties and still sing together all these years later. This special group enjoyed singing so much together that they have decided to continue to do so. The members are spread all over Ireland and Europe meaning their rehearsal schedule is limited however in person rehearsals are always accompanied by some wonderful visits to the many Galway public houses where copious amounts of good wine and strong beers are consumed whilst the singers catch up on everyone’s news. The NUIG Alumni Ensemble have won categories at the Navan, Sligo and Cork Choral Festivals. The group are celebrating 25 years singing together and continue to be directed by Peter Mannion.
