About the Choir

Workbeats Choir was originally formed in 2018 with the express intention of supporting the wellbeing of HSE workers and associates through the shared experience of singing.

The choir has grown to a group of approximately 30 singers who meet every Thursday for rehearsal, connection, community and to reap the manifold benefits that group singing affords. 

Currently under the tutelage of musical director Siobhan Shaughnessy, the choir explores a varied repertoire of two- and three-part choral arrangements of mostly pop, folk and traditional songs with an intentional focus on uplifting and inspirational themes and styles.
