 Rehearsals & Preparation for Major Event
Enniscorthy Choral Society meet once a week for rehearsals with additional workshops in vocal training from time to time.
The choir performs at pre-arranged engagements, formal and informal concerts and at various national and international competitions throughout the year.
Generally divided into four-parts (SATB) and sometimes eight-parts (SSAATTBarB) each rehearsal session has pre-assigned homework. Homework is covered and practiced by members using sectional line-CD's and sheet music during the week. The emphasis at rehearsals is to develop the musicality of pieces and to work on arrangements as a whole.
For those new to the choir or those who may be missing sheet music or line recordings, please contact your Section Leader or the Music Librarian.
