The Waterford Male Voice Choir rehearses during the singing season from October to May in Glór Na Mara school in Tramore each Tuesday evening from 8-10pm. Throughout the year, the choir takes part in a number of community performances and choral competitions before we finish our season with our annual Gala Concert which takes place each May in Waterford. Our repertoire ranges from Schubert to Billy Joel generally performed in four-part harmony arranged for Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Baritone and Bass. We have also had the privilege of having musical pieces commissioned for the Waterford Male Voice Choir and we love to take on the challenge of learning new songs each year ranging from more classical pieces to musicals and modern rock.

The activities of the choir, however, are not confined to rehearsals and performances; we are also a very social group! We welcome any excuse to get together for a few Friday night sing-songs throughout the year in one of our favourite haunts, Ma’ McHugh’s pub in Fenor (you can read more about these great nights below!). We also hold fundraising quizzes each year, as well as our annual golf outing (don’t worry, none of us are scratch golfers!).

Because music transcends language and borders, we certainly take the opportunity to travel abroad every second year or so. To date, we have visited Poland, Italy, the UK, Spain and Austria where we have performed in such prestigious venues as St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome and the Schubert Theatre in Vienna. We have also had the pleasure of welcoming many visiting choirs to Waterford to join us for concerts and gala performances - and of course, to extend the world renowned Waterford welcome! We have been joined by some incredible groups from Canada, the USA, Sweden, Norway and the UK, and of course, we have had many memorable performances with some fantastic local singers, choirs and bands.
