Gospel Choir – in concert

gospel_choir_01.jpgThe Gardiner Street Gospel Choir invites you to Saint Francis Xavier Church on Thursday 13 March at 8.00 pm. for what is essentially a free concert. The choir’s live performance will be recorded by an RTE Radio 1 crew for broadcast on the ‘In Concert’ programme on Easter Monday. It promises to be a unique event, both because it’s a free concert by an award-winning and hugely popular choir and because it has the deeper purpose of reflecting on Easter themes. The songs and the spoken pieces interspersed throughout the performance will be uplifting and thought-provoking. For more details, contact Slí Eile at 01-8880606 or 086-3775869.
