A Galway-based choir are set to take group singing to another level as they seek 100 voices to join them on stage for one epic performance at the Town Hall Theatre.

Commencing on September 5, RISE Choir is offering ordinary people an extraordinary opportunity to perform at one of Galway’s most prestigious, state of the art venues this January by participating in what they call, The Rise Experience.

Over a period of twelve weeks, leading voice coach Dr Caren Hession will teach interested singers and music lovers of all levels and abilities the musical arrangements and vocal harmonies for three big contemporary songs; with eight weeks taking place before the Christmas period and the remaining four after.

Following the sellout success of last years’ live performance which saw over 120 singers perform with a full house band as part of the Born To Rise Showcase, the choir is opening up the opportunity once again this September.

“It was such an amazing experience last year,” said a spokesperson from the group.

“The energy that comes from Caren and the group is truly incredible. There’s a real sense of community and belonging and supporting each other through this really, unique experience. I cannot wait to be part of it again this year,” they added.

This experience is all part of the Born To Rise self-development Programme, a two day event aimed at helping individuals find their voice, physically and metaphorically.

“This event is really about vocal empowerment; rediscovering who you are, finding the strength and the courage to be heard, and being part of something that can make a difference to the lives of others,” says Caren Hession.

“‘The choir is a great way to experience this, to have fun, meet new people and just sing your heart out.”

No prior experience is required if you want to be part of the journey – and all abilities are welcome. For more information, see www.carenhession.com/rise or email info@carenhession.com.
