Ursuline Secondary School, Thurles

Tipperary

The Ursuline Singers is the school’s chamber choir which was formed 18 years ago in November 2006. It is comprised of 46 students, divided into four parts. The Choir’s repertoire is predominantly unaccompanied and includes jazz, gospel classical, Irish, Latin American & medieval music. The choir participates in all of the school’s religious services and masses, and performs at the school’s annual Musical Evening. Over the past 18 years the choir has had great success competing at Feis Ceoil, in RTE’s All Island School Choir, Lyric FM’s Carols for Christmas Competition and the Cork International Choral Festival. The choir also undertakes an annual exam with the Royal Irish Academy of Music and has performed on several occasions at the Academy’s National Gala Concert for High Achievers, which features performers from all over the country. The Cork International Choral Festival has always been the culmination and high point of our choral calendar.
