The Loreto Beaufort choir is run and directed by the talented Ms. Browne, who every Wednesday wakes up with us at eight am and we get straight to work for the upcoming events and performances we have to prepare for. The choir consists of a variety of students from first years to sixth years with all different voice types and levels of training. From being in the choir since first year I’ve made friends with many girls that have come into the school after me and left before me. The connection formed between students in choir is unmatched and it’s easy to see that through our ability to perform effortlessly together. Although this is my final year in choir and I have so much ahead of me in the upcoming choir year, I know the memories from the past years will stick with me . This year we have many exciting things to look forward to for example our yearly performance in The National Concert Hall , our Christmas Carol service , our competition which we travel up the country for and meeting the American Choir that comes over to sing with us later on in the year . It’s been amazing to see the choir grow in numbers and to experience us all growing together in talent . We have so much to show as a group and we would love to see you all at our next performances !!

The Loreto High School Beaufort Choir rehearses every Wednesday morning at 8am. It is run by Ms Browne, and is open to students from all year groups – no audition is necessary. You do not need to be able to read music, you do not need to have any singing experience – singers from all levels are welcome in choir! Choir members do need to be dedicated, willing to practice at home, and enthusiastic – as the choir’s schedule is very busy, and we want to sound our best at all times!
The choir always sings at school masses, and this year we are returning to the National Concert Hall on November 29th to join the wonderful Rathfarnham Concert Band in their concert ‘Winter Wonderland’. For the first time ever, we will also be holding our own Carol Service in Loreto High School Beaufort on the 13th December, at which we would love to see you all!
Previously the choir, under the direction of the late Ms Cruise, has travelled abroad for performances, sang at Sunday mass in Rathfarnham Church, and has performed at many other events.
Any student who wishes to join choir, please come along on Wednesday morning – I promise the early start is worth it!
