Les Voix de l’Est in the Basement Gallery at An Táin Arts Centre, Friday 1st December! 12.45pm - 1.15pm, Free entry. This male choir LesVoix de L’Est was founded in 2014 and consists of a number of singers from different musical backgrounds. The musical director is André Kogovsek. The present choir has evolved from one which dates back to the time of the first world war and which was founded by migrant workers and refugees. These people came mostly from the south east of Europe to work in the mines of Lorraine, in the east of France. Many of the songs and the tradition of choral music which they brought with them have been a great source of comfort and solidarity to them in their new homeland. The present choir, which is now mainly composed of their descendants continues this inherited tradition.The small town of Aumetz is home to this choir and is an example of the importance and role of the mining industry for the survival of these immigrants. The choir sings acapella and they endeavour to interpret songs from different parts of the world, mostly traditional but also popular. Their repertoire includes music from Slovenia Croatia, Russia France and Italy
