We have taken part in many choral competitions around Ireland with Success in New Ross, Arklow, Navan, Sligo and Cork.
In 2013 we joined Wide Open Music in a performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, which was received with great enthusiasm. In the same year we also joined Opera Theatre Company for two performances in their tour to promote young Irish soloists.
In recognition of the millennium year and augmented by local choirs from around the country, we performed the Verdi Requiem to great acclaim in both Bray and Arklow. This was such a successful event that Bray Choral Society was awarded the 2001 Bray Chamber of Commerce Endeavor Award for Culture and the Arts for the second time. The following year, we sold out the National Concert Hall with a performance of Mendelssohn’s Elijah.
Frank Kelly is the founding and current Musical Director and Cormuin Ó Raghallaigh is our accompanist. less
