SBCC College Concert Choir takes Irish pub in Killarney by storm

The picturesque town of Killarney in Ireland is home to many musical pubs with Danny Mann on New Street being one of the most popular ones. Thus it was an ideal place for the Santa Barbara City College Concert Choir to present a "fun concert" on June 10. Finally, the singers from California directed by Nathan Kreitzer had a chance to perform their secular Irish repertoire they had prepared for their 2008 Performance Tour to the Green Isle. After selections from Irish composers David Mooney and Michael McGlynn featuring Treasa McGettigan as the soloist, and "MLK" from U2 with Travis Morse as the soloist, the concert concluded with two very well received American spirituals and "Irish Blessing". Both the performers and the audience really enjoyed the Irish Pub gig as you can tell by the smiles on the singers' faces and the applause they received.
Our video clips from this performance come with typical pub background noises, but we hope you enjoy them nevertheless.
