What your organisation does

Lisburn Community Choir meets weekly from September to May to learn and practice together. The 2 Musical Directors teach us new songs and singing techniques and prepare us to take part in local concerts and public and fundraising events throughout the year. The weekly practices also include time for choir members to form friendships, spend time

together and to support each other. The Children's Choir gives children from 6-12 years of age the chance to learn and sing together in a fun environment and builds their confidence by taking part in performances.
