Performance in Limerick
The choir had a joint performance on Friday night with Ancor — A fantastic choir, and a super crowd!
St. Multose, Cork School of Music, and Blarney Castle.
I am so far behind with this I need to catch people up. So after Killarney and Ring of Kerry we went back to the hotel had dinner and then we departed for our first concert. St Multose was our first “venue”, even though it was built in 1190 this place still has amazing acoustics […]
Friday Morning – School & Cliffs
We started out by adding a small performance to our itinerary — Matt Wallin, an Augsburg Grad, saw our advertisements for an evening concert in Limerick. He’s the principal of a local school, and invited the Choir to have an exchange at his school. What a treat! Then, off to the Cliffs of Moher – […]
Thursday, Arrival in Limerick & Rehearsal
Yes, Thursday was a full day! After departing the School of Music in Cork and stopping at Blarney Castle (and many finding treasures at the Woollen Mills shops nearby, we made our way to Limerick and our hotel next to the River Shannon. We then made our way to St. Mary’s for a rehearsal with […]
First performances and Blarney Castle!
The choir had its first performance at St. Multose Church in Kinsale last evening.

The audience really seemed to enjoy our set – it was a great start to our performance tour. Today, we […]
Thursday AM – Cork School of Music
We started our day with a short little walk to the Cork School of Music, just a few blocks from our hotel. The director of the school, Dr. Spratt, worked with the choir on their Brahm’s selection, and then the Augsburg Choir performed for a group of students.
Performance #1
The Choir’s first performance took place tonight (Wednesday) at St. Multose Church in Kinsale. It was well attended, and the audience was very appreciative!
Wednesday Morning – Ring of Kerry
The Choir started off the morning with a lovely Irish Breakfast in the hotel, and then departed for a scenic drive. We stopped briefly in Kenmare for a “comfort stop” as one of our bus drivers (Liam) calls them — There was a great little outdoor market too that many took advantage of before continuing […]
Killarney and the Ring of Kerry
Wow, what a day it was! We woke up and had a wonderful full Irish breakfast, which is essentially the same as our breakfast but with more variety of sausages. After we ate we loaded the buses and headed off to Killarney. On our way up to Killarney we stopped at a small shopping area, […]
