Book TicketsEmbrace the Christmas spirit and become part of a collective choir where voices will unite in a heart-warming chorus of SILENT NIGHT and a specially composed piece by Wexford composer Liam Bates entitled Blazing Sky.
THE BIG CHRISTMAS SING will be led by conductor Mary Amond O’Brien, accompanied by Ollie Hennessy and Maeve Lyons, and is the second BIG CHRISTMAS SING event for SING SYNC, VISUAL’s new community choir. Special guests on the night will be Carlow vocal group enCÓRE who will join the SING SYNC choir for Blazing Sky.
Experience the positive impact of singing and singing together. Everyone is welcome, no experience necessary!
Liam Bates wrote Blazing Sky in response to the ongoing conflict we are witnessing in the world: “A truth we may agree upon, is that in any conflict, it is the children, on both sides, who bear the suffering; a reality that is lost in the clamour of blame. 'Blazing Sky’ puts the spotlight back on the children”.
Singers are invited to visit www.blazingsky.ie for more information and to familiarise themselves with the music in advance if they wish to do so.
