Còisir Alba was created to represent Scotland at the Eurovision Choir competition in Gothenburg but it proved such a positive experience, that we have continued to explore further opportunities to promote our Gaelic language and culture on an international stage. As part of Seachdain na Gàidhlig, we’re embracing the Do Chànan. Do Chothrom (Your Language. Your Opportunity) theme and holding a workshop with award-winning composer Sileas Sinclair, to learn one of her fabulous Gaelic song arrangements.
We will finish the workshop with a ‘work in progress’ public performance of the piece, supported by performances of our previous material, and we’d love you to join us. This is open to anyone to attend and is free of charge. We will then close the day with an informal ceilidh, and open the floor to impromptu performances from both choir members and the public. There may even be a wee deoch an dorais on the way out!
This will be held from 4-5pm in the Renfield Centre, Glasgow. Tha sinn an dòchas ur faicinn ann / We hope to see you there!
