Earlier this May, Georgia Festival Chorus traveled to the Emerald Isle for an unforgettable adventure filled with music, fellowship, and breathtaking scenery.

From Blarney Castle and the Ring of Kerry, to the Di**le Peninsula and Aran Islands, our singers experienced some of Ireland’s most celebrated destinations.

Along the way, we appeared in concert at St. Patrick's Church of Ireland in Kenmare, St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church, Galway Cathedral, as well as an informal performance at Blarney Castle.

Our hearts are filled with song and fantastic memories. Thank you, Ireland! 🍀🎶

We’re excited to share a few words straight from the people who make it all worthwhile - our audience! Here’s what you’ve been saying about the music, the moments, and what it meant to be in the room.

Throwing it back to a moving moment from Eastminster Presbyterian Church in March, where “Wade in the Water” filled the space with spirit.

Rooted in the African American spiritual tradition, this song carries a message of hope and divine guidance, often understood as a call to trust in God during difficult times.

Next week marks our final four performances of Walk in the Light! We’d love to share this music with you.
