Discovery Gospel Choir feature in Abbey Theatre’s ‘Dear Ireland III’
The multi–cultural Discovery Gospel Choir, who are based in St George and St Thomas’ Church on Cathal Brugha Street, will feature in the third and final instalment of the Abbey Theatre’s ‘Dear Ireland’ series on Thursday 17th December at 7.30pm.
‘Dear Ireland III’ features a series of three minute postcards from underrepresented voices in Irish society, which were asked the question, ‘What does it feel like to be you, right now, in Ireland?’.
Commenting on the initiative the Directors of the Abbey Theatre, Graham McLaren and Neil Murray said, “The Abbey Theatre is more than the walls which house its productions, and the work of Ireland’s national theatre responds and will continue to reflect the challenges being faced by Irish society”.
Discovery Gospel Choir features members from 17 different nationalities and was formed in 2004, as part of a major initiative within the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough to respond to the needs of those migrating to Ireland, to make it their new home.
