ASCERT\u2019s Recovery Choir is delighted to be part of BBC Sing!, an inspiring initiative by BBC Radio Ulster that unites choirs from across Northern Ireland to form the region\u2019s \u201cBiggest Ever Community Choir.\u201d<\/p>\n
Founded in September 2024, ASCERT\u2019s Recovery Choir provides a welcoming and uplifting environment for individuals in recovery, those working in recovery, and friends or family members supporting a loved one. Meeting every Thursday evening in Belfast, the choir is led by acclaimed Musical Director Keith Pyper, whose impressive career spans over 20 years of working with choirs and musical societies across Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n
BBC Sing! invited choirs from across the region to apply for this special event, forming county-based choirs that have been rehearsing both online and in person since February. The initiative will culminate in a spectacular live performance at the Ulster Hall on 24 March, where choirs from Antrim, Down, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Armagh, and L\u2019Derry will each showcase their contemporary music pieces before joining forces for an unforgettable grand finale.
\nWith around 800 singers coming together for this extraordinary musical celebration, the event promises to be a truly memorable experience.<\/p>\n
ASCERT\u2019s Recovery Choir is honoured to be representing County Antrim in this landmark event. Choir leader Ashleigh Connor shared how one of the choir members stumbled upon the application over a weekend, submitted it just before the Monday deadline, and was thrilled to receive confirmation of their acceptance later that week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis choir provides a fun, supportive space where people can come together to sing uplifting contemporary music,\u201d said Ashleigh. \u201cFor our members\u2014whether ASCERT staff, individuals in recovery, or those working in recovery\u2014being part of such an incredible event at the Ulster Hall is an honour and something we are truly excited about.\u201d<\/p>\n
