BIOGRAPHIES
Scrubs Workplace Choir Conductor: Patrick D’Alton Formed in 2015, Scrubs is comprised of around 60 staff members (current, former and retired) from CUH, CUMH, UCC Dental School & Hospital and the Acute Mental Health Unit. Prior to the Covid-19 restrictions our choir had a very busy schedule performing at hospital events such as the Christmas Carol Service, graduation ceremonies, Culture Night, memorial services and outside of the hospital environment in HSE and many charity events. We have particularly enjoyed participating in the Cork International Choral Festival over the last few years. With a couple of TV and radio appearances under our belt, we participated in the Vienna International Choral Festival in 2018. For the past year we have all worked hard to keep our choir together in the midst of the global pandemic and have used Zoom to rehearse weekly. We look forward to resuming live performances as soon as it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we hope that you enjoy our video!
St Kevin’s Workplace Choir was established in January 2021 to offer the staff an opportunity to meet in a social setting, albeit online!!! Our director, Eimear Crehan, joined the staff at St Kevin’s in September 2020 as a teacher, and it was a great chance for the staff to benefit from her passion for sharing singing with the world as a means for deepening connection and strengthening community. It has been wonderful to share a bit of time each week connecting with each other, learning new skills and creating music together. Working in St Kevin’s is more than just teaching students. It’s about seeing our students in more than an academic light. We are a small tight knit school community and as a result of this we get to experience the True Colours of each and every one of our students. We hope that you enjoy our music!
