Byron choirs performing concerts in Ireland, hosting two benefits concerts to raise funds

    The Byron choirs have the wonderful opportunity to tour Ireland this June. While in Ireland, they will be touring Galway, Killarney, Limerick, Kerry, Cork, Tipperary, and Dublin.

    Many cultural activities are planned for the group, but most importantly they will be performing three concerts. One at the Gothic Church on the grounds of Kylemore Abbey, one at St. Mary’s Church in Killarney, and the final performance will be a joint concert with a youth choir in Dublin.

    The choirs will be hosting two benefit concerts to help raise money for the trip expenses, as well as share selections of music they will be performing while in Ireland. The first concert will be held on Saturday, Feb. 24, 4 p.m., at All Saints Lutheran Church, located at 624 Luther Drive in Byron. The second will be held on Tuesday, March 19, 7 p.m., at United Methodist Church, located at 200 S. 4th St. in Oregon. Each concert is asking a free will donation at the door.

    The public is whole-heartedly invited to attend so the choir can provide their music and thank everyone for the continued support of the Byron High School choirs.
