Orbsen members attend the Choral Society Reunion

Many members of Orbsen performed at the Galway University Choral reunion on Saturday 29th of September. The event was organised by the Alumni office and was to honour Mr John Murphy, who conducted the choir from 1967.

Some members travelled great distances to sing with us, Dublin, Meath, Wales, USA etc!

Here's a photo of the group rehearsing on Saturday afternoon.



On the night we perfromed Arabella and Coney Island Babe from the guys barbershop repetoire. This was followed in quick succession by O Si Funi Mungu and then a most brilliant fusion on Siuil a ruin and a traditional Welsh song. We debuted our version of Rehab and followed this with an excellent rendition of Mary McAuliffe's Ever Free. To finish we 'performed' the Wolf Chant - a piece the audience found very entertaining!

The group enjoyed the weekend and meeting with all the members from bygone eras as well as those we sang with during our time in the University Choir.

Roll on the next reunion......................................
