Welcome to the website of Kaleidoscope, the most colourful girls’ choir around! |
|
Based in County Antrim, Kaleidoscope started life as a training organisation for Loughside Chamber Choir, but in recent years the teenage group has become very successful in its own right. Kaleidoscope operates in junior and senior sections, with the main group in Newtownabbey being complemented by a twin organisation in County Armagh. The girls work on the same repertoire and then join together for concerts and competitions. Kaleidoscope Newtownabbey is based in Ballyearl Arts and Leisure Centre, which is about six miles north of Belfast city centre. Rehearsals are held every Saturday afternoon, starting at 3.15 p.m. for the junior section (11-14 years), followed by the senior girls (15-18 years).
The choir has a wide-ranging repertoire of sacred and secular music. Arrangements of traditional Irish folksongs regularly feature in concert and competition programmes. There is no audition for the junior section – everyone is welcome! Girls must pass a simple voice test before progressing to the senior group |
