Meitheal, the new chamber choir from Unhinged, is now forming in Galway and has opened its doors to singers.
Founded by Rob Partridge, with Oran Tobin as Artistic Director, the choir is built around a single ambition: exceptional unaccompanied choral music, rooted in place, community, and imagination. Its repertoire will draw on the breadth of the chamber choir tradition, from established sacred and secular works to contemporary compositions and Irish music, performed in churches, galleries, libraries, heritage sites, festivals, and the other spaces where people gather.
Meitheal is open to singers aged eighteen and over. No formal training or previous choral experience is required; the only prerequisites are enthusiasm, commitment, and a love of singing. Rehearsals will be led by Oran Tobin, whose work as a classical singer, conductor, and vocal coach has supported singers across the region.
Those wishing to join, or to learn more about rehearsal dates and forthcoming performances, are invited to contact the choir at hello@unhinged.ie, through the Contact page, or by leaving their details via the signup form on the Meitheal site. Updates will be posted here and shared with everyone on the mailing list.
