General Information: The choir meets twice a week, Mondays and Thursdays, from 6:30-9:00 pm. Irish Fest performances are held each year during the weekend of Irish Fest. This year’s fest runs from August 18th-21st.
In an effort to support interest in the tradition of Irish Song among young people, Pat Moschea and Ed Ward founded the Milwaukee Irish Fest Choir in 1988. The choir is comprised of people between the ages of 14 and 20 and is under the direction of Charles Kessell of Chicago with accompanist Miles Plant of Brookfield. Part of the choir experience is touring during mid-July or early August. The choir has traveled several times to Ireland as well as throughout the USA.
The Milwaukee Irish Fest Choir has recorded several CDs, which can be purchased through Milwaukee Irish Fest.
Auditions are held each spring and rehearsals are Mondays and Thursdays from May through Irish Fest in mid-August. If you have any questions or are interested in joining the choir, contact Mrs. Moschea at pmoschea@charter.net
