Our set is mainly Irish Songs, of course, but we have thrown in a couple of surprises that we hope you will join us in singing.  Our Irish songs are mostly traditional and you may have hear some of them before, so please join in with them too.  We want to see you tapping your toes and clapping your hands!

In November 1992 a group of Irish Immigrants and their Canadian friends formed the Irish Cultural Society of Calgary choir. Over thirty years later this welcoming group of singers regularly rehearse on Wednesday night at 7.00 pm in the Irish Cultural Society Hall in Bowness.   The Choir performs and entertains at multiple venues in and around Calgary, ICS Christmas Concert, St. Patrick Day events, nursing homes, senior residences, folk clubs, ProArts Noon series at Church of the Redeemer, Music at Noon at Varsity and the annual Water Valley Celtic festival. All are amazing venues to share our Celtic Heritage.

This year we have welcomed several new young members, who have added energy and vitality to the choir.  We are now 45 members strong.  

We love singing for live audiences. We delight in seeing members of the audience enjoying our music and song especially when they sing along or tap their feet to our program.

Joe Massey conducts the choir and arranges the set programs while Leslie O’Loughlin and Natalie McDermott share piano duties, and Greg Black (guitar) Doug Wagner (fiddle) Tony Hogan (bodhran) Joe Massey (whistle), provides accompaniment for this amazing, fun-loving, joyful choir.

This concert is the forurth in a series of many Choral Concerts during 2025 that is generously sponsored by:
