The Cloughmore Male Voice Choir
Welcome / Fáilte
The Cloughmore Male Voice Choir is celebrating another milestone in its remarkable history. Colette Hart-Lavery has completed twenty five years as musical director, a wonderful example of voluntary service. She was at the beginning of her teaching career when one of her pupils told her that her father sang in a male voice choir and that they needed a new musical director. Colette agreed to fill the vacancy and found herself with a choir somewhat depleted in numbers.
She built up the membership and still in keeping with the traditions of the choir introduced new music to the repertoire. Her expert choral teaching and her thoroughness paid off bringing renewed life to the choir. Under her direction there were two concerts a year, a CD called “Reflections”, performances with top class soloists and with other choirs. There were engagements to sing at many different venues, the most prestigious being at Aras An Uachtarain official residence of President Mary McAleese in Dublin.
Colette is leaving the choir to pursue her studies and we wish her well. She will be greatly missed by the choir and her audience of faithful fans who looked forward to the concerts at Christmas and in the Summer.
The “Gala Concert” on Wednesday 10th June will be a celebration of her accomplishment over twenty five years with the Choir.
