Fadó, Fado - Spotlight 1990




What was on the calendar of Cavan Singers 20 years ago?
Here's a programme and photograph from a concert presented with the Garda Band in the Kilmore Hotel.
The photograph is a little blurred but if you look closely you may be able to name a few Singers!

...of Proms and Flat Lakes...

We are working hard these Tuesdays in preparation for two performaces.
The Cavan Lions Club Summer Proms is at the end of May - it's beginning to be an annual fixture for us now! Details to follow soon.
We have also been invited to perform at the Flat Lake Festival in Clones during the June Bank Holiday Weekend.
Our programmes will includes pieces from the three sets of music we are currently learning and reheasing:
  • Sacred - old and new pieces including Fauré, Handel and Mozart
  • Irish folk songs - as Gaeilge 's as Bearla
  • Latin (that's the rhythm, not the language) and modern pieces
So between learning words in English, Irish, Latin, French and Catalan, learning our notes, and putting it all together at rehearsal, these are busy busy times...
