Making an Exhibition of Ourselves

Many thanks to eveyone who made our exhibition launch such lovely occassion. Our public representatives, our librarians, our committee, and all of us Cavan Singers with friends and family who turned a cold wet windy evening into a warm and welcoming hour of celebration. Our exhibition display included photographs and memories, some pictured below - our bronze civic award, our bespoke jewellry designed and made by soprano elena Brennan, and scores and scores (literally!) of sheeet music from forty years of singing, including pieces commmisioned for us written by Cavan composer Tom Cullivan.

Our chair Fidelma Sheridan welcomed us and remembered for us those who couldn't be there in person, our County Council Cathaoirleach Philip Brady congratulated us on this milestone, founder member Dermot McMonagle spoke of the early days and how the love of singing that brought the choir together on Valentine's Day 1984 is still very much alive. Mags Amond gave a summary of the sensemakling survey we carried out to find out What It Means To Be a Member of Cavan Singers.

Our lovely hour finsihed with poet (and tenor) Noel Monahan reading a poem he wrote for us in celebration of forty years singing together; and his final line from Speed Your Journey - may endure to the last - segued seamlessy into Eileen Tackney on keyboard leading us in a mini-flash-mob rendition of Va Pensiero.

Happy Ruby Anniversary 2024 to Cavan Singers. Long May We Sing - Together.

Exhibition ready for launch at Johnston Central Library

Our exhibition to cembrate 40 years singing together is ready in the Johnston Central Library on Farnham Street Cavan. The official opening is on Thursday February 8th, but laready library visitors are taking time to wander through our 40 years of memorabilia. We are grateful to our library service for hosting us and helping us to set it up. We look forward to feinds of Cavan Singers visiting memoery lane with us.

Let's start at the very beginning

A reminder from Dollé Cullivan, our memory keeper >

Cavan Singers, The Beginning!

After the Cavan Arts Society  committee ran two very successful  Choral workshops with Colin Block, they put a notice in the Anglo Celt inviting "anyone interested in Singing to attend an Open Meeting". The numbers gave the answer, so on 14th February 1984, Cavan Singers was born! Hopefully some of that former Committee, still in Cavan, get to visit  the Exhibition in the Johnston Central Library of Cavan Singers 40 years on. 🎶🎶

Exhibition to celebrate 40 years of songs

Next week, on Feb 8th, we open an exhibition in Cavan's Johnston Central Library to celebrate 40 years singing together. Please come and see our history!

and just like that, we're back

And just like that, we are back on the socials - given that our 40th birthday approaches on Valentine's Day 💘 and we need to start posting about the celebrations soon >>>
