About the Choir
The Kilkenny Gospel Choir is now synonymous with both international Gospel Music and Kilkenny. To date the choir has raised in excess of €400,000 Euro for both Kilkenny and national charities. The launch of our first CD 'Kilkenny Sings Gospel' put us on the international market as one of the best loved choirs in Europe. We are always delighted as a choir to be able to outreach to the various requests we get for fundraising. But this is all only possible through the generosity and self giving of the choir members and the support of the people of Kilkenny, Ireland and our many friends throughout Europe and the US.
We are delighted to boast that our choir is an international one with members from every county in Ireland as well as from Germany, France, England, Austria, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Congo.
The most important aspect of the choir is our spirituality. Prayer is a strong focus for us. We continually thank God for the many gifts he has given to our choir, voice, music, charity and friendship to mention a few.
We always pray that through our music many hearts and lives will be touched with the realisation that they are loved by God.
As the Kilkenny Gospel Choir we give thanks for all we have received, we say yes to whatever God asks us to do and we look forward with hope to many years of Singing Gospel.
