Wexford Festival Singers is a classical music mixed-voice choir. We sing a range of music from the major classical works to contemporary pieces and perform a number of concerts each year.
History
Wexford Festival Singers (WFS) was established in 1975 and since its foundation up to recent years the choir has sung in almost every Wexford Festival Opera.
Timeline
See some of our highlights from over the last 10 years including ‘A Nation’s Voice’, ‘Wexford Proms’, ‘Dvorak Mass in D Major’, ‘Verdi’s Requiem’ and much more
Repertoire
WFS has performed many of the great works in the choral repertoire including Requiems of Brahms, Cherubini & Fauré, Rossini’s, Dvorák’s Stabat Mater & Stravinsky’s Les Noces.
Concerts & Events
As well as performing regular concerts throughout the year, we also hold several social events for our members, which include outings, barbeques, picnics, etc.
We also have a committee which runs the administrative side of the choir, and which has its own meetings including an annual general meeting for all of our members to attend.
