GUH Choral Society

Three years ago, the GUH Choral Society (ChorSoc) was formed from existing members of HSE Staff in the Galway area. Initially a small group, the ChorSoc has grown into a group of about 30 members who give of their time to sing together. Initially, they sang for patients and staff giving recitals in the hospital foyer twice yearly. Each Christmas they also go from ward to ward in the hospital singing carols for patients who will be hospitalised over the Christmas period. Whilst continuing to do this, they have performed at a number of charity events over the past year and have even had air-time on Lyric FM. In its early days, the ChorSoc was fortunate to have the assistance of the GUH Arts Trust helping in its development. In turn, the ChorSoc is delighted to now work in a symbiotic relationship with the GUH Arts Trust to improve the holistic experience of patients in hospital.
