Rock Choir, the world’s largest contemporary choir experience, is inviting new members in Ireland to experience the joy, community and music that have made it a household name across the UK.

Established in 2005 by award-winning musician and singer Caroline Redman Lusher MBE, Rock Choir has pioneered a contemporary choir experience that is accessible, inclusive and life-changing.

The sessions take place on Mondays at 7.30pm, running from 4th May to 29th June for the summer term. They are held at The Royal Hotel, Arklow.

Well known across Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland for its energy and impact, Rock Choir connects all its choirs into a national network, learning the same songs simultaneously and sharing in the collective experience. Irish choirs will integrate seamlessly into this network while becoming part of a supportive, dynamic community. Nearly 200 new members have already joined in the Republic of Ireland and are now looking forward to delivering their first performances in their local communities.

The experience offers people of all ages a fun and uplifting alternative to traditional classical or community choirs. There are no auditions and no requirement to read music – just the opportunity to sing feel-good pop, rock and contemporary chart hits, all carefully arranged and created by a superb team of Grammy award-winning producers, with bespoke arrangements exclusive to Rock Choir.

Members regularly take part in once-in-a-lifetime experiences locally, nationally and internationally, from performing at Wembley Stadium to Carnegie Hall in New York, and travelling to cities such as Berlin and countries including Greece and Spain. These opportunities complement weekly rehearsals, creating unforgettable experiences that bring together music, friendship and confidence.

Rock Choir leader Maryna Sulha will working in Bray, Arklow and Wicklow. Maryna has a degree in Songwriting from the University of Limerick and a Bachelor’s degree in Musical Arts specialising in Jazz Vocals. Maryna will ensure the choir’s ethos of fun, community and wellbeing helps members build confidence, reduce stress and connect them with others in a positive and uplifting environment. All Rock Choir Leaders are highly trained and passionate, guiding every rehearsal, ensuring all members of all abilities feel supported and encouraged.

From performing at local community events and fundraising for charities, to appearing on national television and singing in iconic venues, festivals and high-profile events, Rock Choir is about far more than singing. It is about empowering confidence, building self-belief and offering opportunities that go above and beyond expectations.
