November 2012 – This year the Montfort College of Performing Arts celebrate a momentous 50 years being one of Ireland’s most prestigious training grounds for talent. And now, they’re celebrating what was once one of the most significant entertainment groups from the school’s inception – The Montfort Singers, by bringing it back with a bang!

For nearly 50 years the Montfort Singers were synonymous with the best in musical theatre vocal work in Cork city under the watchful eyes of renowned musical directors Michael Casey, Cathal Dunne, Ronnie O’Shaughnessy, to name but a few . If you were one of the lucky ones who threaded the boards during those successful years, The Montfort College wants to hear from you!

For this landmark year the Montfort Singers will be re-launched under the musical directorship of Colm O’Regan. There are a number of concerts lined up over the coming months in the Everyman, Cork Opera House, Christmas carol concerts etc. which will feature the group. However this year the school is enlisting the talents of young and old alike by holding three different classes to develop the group.

The junior group (9 -11 yrs) will rehearse from 7.30pm to 8.30pm and the intermediates (11 – 20 yrs) will rehearse from 8.30pm to 9.30pm every Wednesday. For all of those more experienced and of course ex-Montfort Singers, the school is looking for you to get in touch by calling the office on 021-4501412.

The group will see the amalgamation of cross generational talents become once again the leaders of musical theatre vocal work.

Every man, woman and child are encouraged to come along and experience what is guaranteed to bring a household name back to the fore of Cork culture and entertainment! Whether you were once involved or this is your first time, The Montfort College of Performing Arts want you to call now!
