Voices of Spring is an inclusive community choir for older people, with a special welcome for those living with dementia and their carers. They rehearse every Wednesday at 11am in the Youth Café at The Mill Community Centre in Celbridge. Following on from the success of Past Times Community Choir in Naas, it was decided that opportunities for meaningful musical participation should be made accessi
ble to a wider audience across the county. The choir provides a safe, supportive and engaging environment for all and aims to create an opportunity for members to experience the proven benefits of group singing. The greater aim is for both of these choirs to become part of the cultural tapestry of Kildare, showcasing the value of an authentic and truly inclusive musical project. The choir is was setup with funding from Kildare's Age Friendly Alliance and is supported on an ongoing basis by Kildare County Councils Arts Office as part of their Arts and Health initiative.
