Rejoice Gospel Choir

Youd think that people wouldve had enough of silly love songs,
But I look around me and I see it isnt so.
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
And whats wrong with that? Id like to know
cause here I go again…

Join Rejoice Gospel Choir & special guests in Smock Alley Theatre, on Wednesday 19th June for a celebration of the greatest love songs of all time!
Weve gathered all our favourite love songs, given our own unique spin, and arranged them into an unmissable celebration of all things love.
From 80s pop to 90s ballads, wedding classics and everything in between, theres something for everyone.
So come along and join the fun (and embrace your warm & gooey side while you’re at it) as we celebrate all things cheesy and romantic.

About the Company:
Rejoice is an award-winning choir performing traditional spirituals and contemporary gospel numbers in an authentic gospel style, drawing on the rich roots of gospel music and its relationship with other genres such as pop, soul, funk, blues and jazz. Rejoice has performed alongside artists including The High Hopes Choir, Imelda May, Dermot Kennedy and Paul Noonan as part of ‘Rock Against Homelessness’ in Dublin’s Olympia Theatre, and delighted audiences with performances at Christmas In The Castle, Dublin Castle and Farmleigh House’s Christmas Series. In March 2023 the choir joined legendary producer and musician David Foster in a special performance of one of his most iconic hits in Dublin’s Mansion House as part of Shamrock Foods 100th anniversary celebrations.

Rejoice has featured on RTÉ’s ‘Service on Sunday’ on behalf of the Methodist Church of Ireland and performed ‘Shine a Light’ alongside Michael English on RTÉ’s Late Late Show as part of the Climb With Charlie fundraising campaign. The choir featured as part of The Late Late Show’s 2023 Valentine’s Day special, performing Higher & Higher to celebrate the vow renewal of John & Vera Hogan, and again in November 2022 as part of a Take That special pop up choir. Rejoice also features on acclaimed Irish artist Wallis Bird’s 2022 EP ‘Handing It Over’, released in December 2022.

At the heart of the choir lies a shared love of music which is reflected in its motto: ‘Ready for joy, ready for love, ready to sing!’
