ST. MEL’S CATHEDRAL CHOIR

St. Mel’s Cathedral Choir, under the direction of organist Fintan Farrelly, sing at 11.30am Mass every Sunday. The choir rehearses on Thursday evenings at 8.30pm in the choir room at the rear of the Cathedral, with extra rehearsals scheduled in preparation for major events. The choir has a varied repertoire, combing the works of some of the greatest composers: Bach, Mozart and Haydn, along with more contemporary composers like John Rutter. Members have also performed in Gregorian Chant and Irish and the choir has soprano, alto, tenor and base amongst its ranks. The choir is always looking for new members and would welcome anyone that would be interested in joining with them to sing at St. Mel’s Cathedral.

History: Many great choirmasters and organists have directed Longford Cathedral Choir, including David Tracey, Terry Sheridan, Fr. Tommy Devine, Rene Segers, Herr Hiermar, Herr Oberhoff, Alphonsus Hann, John O’Keeffe, Jay Walsh and Fintan Farrelly who is the current choirmaster.
