New Musical Director, Peter O’Donohue

Lismorahaun Singers are delighted to announce the appointment of Peter O Donohue to the role of Musical Director this September 2024.

As a performer, Peter has toured internationally as part of ‘The Young Irish Tenors’ and has performed with every major opera company in Ireland, with solo performances in oratorios such as Mozarts ‘Mass in C’ and ‘Requiem’.

As a teacher, he has a great fascination with the human voice and specialises in vocal health and caters for singers from beginner to professional levels.

At ten years old Peter  was one of the first members of the Lismorahaun Singers under the leadership of its original MD (and founder ) Archie Simpson so his return as Musical Director this September is a cause for joy and excitement for the coming season.
