"Music is everything to me. I couldn't believe it when I came down to find this happening. This has given me a great lift. You forget about your worries, and it brings back great memories. It's a great idea." (Patient)

Waterford Healing Arts programmes continues to bring creativity and connection into healthcare and other settings across Waterford.
As part of this work, we’re delighted to highlight two upcoming performances by Cór Chroí, the HSE Staff Choir in Waterford. Now in its third year, the workplace choir is made up of current, past and retired staff, with approximately 30 members. Both events are free to attend and all are welcome. The choir’s musical director is Damien Kehoe. Most recently, the choir featured on RTE Lyric FM’s Choirs for Christmas with their rendition of the Wexford Carol.
The two upcoming performances by the choir will take place on Tuesday 21st April at 6.30pm in Ardkeen Library and on Saturday 25th April at 12 Noon at the Waterford Greenway Tunnel (Durrow side).

Well, that flew by!

A huge congratulations to all the Open Studio artists who exhibited their work in ‘Canvas agus Craic’ at the Coastguard Centre in Tramore throughout February. Last week, everyone came together to celebrate with cake, conversation, and plenty of craic!

Robin gave the most beautiful impromptu speech and, in his own words, "I came out of my shell when I came along to Open Studio".

A heartfelt thank you to Karen and the Coastguard Centre team, the Open Studio team, and all the friends, family, and community members who make this programme so special.
