The Farmers’ Choir NI are delighted to announce their ‘Sing to Change Lives’ charity concert which will be held in the Great Hall at Stormont Castle on Saturday 27th July from 7pm - 9pm.
Farmers’ Choir President, Mr Robin Swann will open the event and provide the Welcome Address.
This one-off, unique event will feature performances from three community choirs and joining the Farmers Choir NI on stage will be the ‘Just Sing’ ladies’ choir from Portadown and the '85ers’ sea shanty group from RNLI Portishead, Bristol.
The choirs are thrilled to be performing together again having met last year when they were brought together to form the Coronation Choir who sang for the newly crowned King Charles III at Windsor Castle.
Barkley Thompson, Musical Director of the Farmers’ Choir NI commented:
“We are incredibly excited to meeting up again with our friends in ‘Just Sing’ and the ‘85ers’ sea shanty choir. We are really looking forward to singing together again amidst the stunning surroundings of Parliament Buildings.”
Dawn Stewart, Chair of Farmers’ Choir NI added:
“We’re really pleased to be hosting this reunion concert at Stormont with ‘Just Sing’ ladies and the ‘85ers sea shanty group. We will be showcasing a variety of popular songs and assure you of a fantastic evening of music and entertainment.”
Proceeds from the event will go towards two local charities including Farmers’ Choir NI and RNLI.
