Clontarf Choral Competition Promotes Performance of Religious Songs
The first annual Clontarf Parish Choral Competition will take place on Sunday 11 March 2018 at the Church of St John the Baptist, Seafield Rd West, Clontarf, Dublin 3.
The aim of the competition is to encourage the performance and enjoyment of hymnody and religious songs, and there will be senior and junior categories (over 18 and under 18).
The junior competition will take place at 3pm, while the senior competition will take place at 7pm.
All amateur choirs of at least eight members are eligible to enter and perpetual trophies will be awarded in each category. The entry fee is €30 per choir, and the closing date for entries for the 2018 competition is Sunday 18 February 2018.
Choirs will sing two pieces. The first piece will be an arrangement of one piece from the prescribed set–list (to be found on the website) and the second piece will be a hymn/psalm/religious song of the choir’s own choosing. The second piece must not be from the prescribed set–list. Choirs entering into the senior competition must sing in at least two–part harmony.
Choirs will be adjudicated by a panel of three judges and marks will be awarded for both the technical ability and overall artistic quality of the performance.
