Founded in 1970, the Tredagh Singers started life as St. Peter’s Choral Group, adopting their current name in the late 1990’s.
With 65 mixed voices the choir has achieved great success over the years by taking part in (and winning!) choral competitions at home and abroad. The choir has a wide repertoire spanning the range from 16th Century polyphony and the music of the 21st century, including Irish works.
The Tredagh Singers believe in promoting original pieces, particularly when advancing the works of their contemporaries. A striking example of this was the success achieved at the Cork Choral Festival in 2002 with ‘Winter in Meath’ composed by Drogheda man Michael Holohan. The award was for the ‘performance of a contemporary choral piece by an Irish composer’.
The choir earned an outstanding reputation under the direction of Patricia Hegarty, for their musicality, beauty of tone and obvious love of singing. Patricia trained at the prestigious Kodaly Institute in Hungary and now lives in Drogheda.
