The idea for the concert came about because the secretary of the choir is a brother of one of our Celtic Choir members.After the break the Lisburn Harmony Ladies Choir, a northern irish female choir led by the choir leader Kirsty Orr will join us on the stage. They sing all types of genres and love performing. They are very pleased today to sing irish songs alongside with Tredagh Singers and the Celtic Choir in Berlin.
