Farmers’ Choir NI to celebrate rural life and music at Spring Concert
Farmers’ Choir NI is delighted to announce its upcoming Spring Concert, taking place at the Braid Arts Centre on Wednesday 29th April at 8pm.
Audiences can expect an engaging and diverse programme of music designed to suit all tastes, featuring a blend of well-loved favourites alongside some lesser-known pieces. The concert will reflect the choir’s deep connection to rural life, with many pieces inspired by the land, nature and the beauty of the Northern Ireland landscape.
Drawing on the real-life experiences of its members—many of whom work as farmers—the performance will also explore the daily rhythms, challenges, and rewards of agricultural life. This unique perspective brings authenticity and warmth to the choir’s sound, offering a heartfelt celebration of community and heritage.
“This concert is a reflection of who we are,” said Musical Director Barkley Thompson. “Our music is rooted in the countryside and shaped by the lives we lead. We’re excited to share that story with our audience.”
The Spring Concert promises to be an uplifting evening of music and storytelling, highlighting the rich cultural and agricultural traditions that define the choir.
The concert takes place on Wednesday 29th April, 8:00pm at The Braid Arts Centre, Ballymena. Tickets can be purchased from The Braid Arts Centre Box Office.
