Celebrating their 10-year anniversary, Castlebar Gospel Choir will be bringing their 'Songs of Freedom' concert to the National Concert Hall in Dublin on Thursday, October the 1 at 8pm. (Tickets are €20 from the National Concert Hall Box Office (01 4170000 ) or www.nch.ie ) It will be an evening celebrating the spirit of freedom that has evolved in the USA tracing the movement from slavery to civil rights to the inauguration of President Barrack Obama.
These periods in history have been accompanied by a soundtrack of exceptional music with some of the most enduring songs ever written charting the empowerment and perseverance that has brought us to present day events. From slave spirituals to songs of civil rights and beyond, the influence of this music has spread throughout the world and through the show Songs of Freedom, Castlebar Gospel Choir will endeavour to celebrate this wonderful legacy. Under the direction of Kathy Fahey, this will be the choir’s first time performing in Dublin and will be a wonderful night of music, not to be missed!
