THE RISE EXPERIENCE

Ever wanted to perform on a big stage? To feel the energy and buzz of a live band around you, while singing your heart out to

a sell out audience? Do you love the idea and experience of singing with other people, being part of a community that makes

a difference but also allows you to contribute in your own special and unique way? Even if you’re too shy to go solo?

Well, now you can!

This January, Born To Rise is offering fellow music lovers the chance to perform on the Galway Town Hall Theatre stage with their

Ultimate RISE Experience package.

to add the finishing touches to their grand performance.

If you would like to be part of a diverse group of fun-loving, talented and energetic individuals; building confidence and celebrating

the beauty and uniqueness of all voices, then choose to rise and join us today for this momentous and inspirational experience!

Testimonials

Megan McLean

Psychology Student & Au pair, Scotland

“Such a refreshing outlook and experience! Singing used to bring me so much joy but I think I lost my way a little bit as I got older. Being able to let go of my worries and be in a safe space with like minded people has given me the opportunity to learn more about my own voice, to recognise that every voice is different and to just enjoy the buzz and energy of singing loud and proud, without comparison”

Adrian Walshe

Technical Support Engineer, Tipperary

“I always leave the RISE Choir feeling happy! There are an abundance of fantastic singers and wonderful harmonies, but for the majority singing is secondary. People go to enjoy themselves, meet friends, challenge themselves, and take a break from the hustle and bustle of life. Simply put, just show up! You’ve nothing to lose and plenty to gain”

Eilis O'Neill

Primary District Inspector, Galway

“RISE is an opportunity to just BE; be welcomed; be accepted; be respected; be fulfilled; be challenged; be inspired! RISE is where music and personal fulfilment meet!”
