Lisburn Harmony Xtra

INTRODUCING… LISBURN HARMONY XTRA! 

Wednesday 18th February to Wednesday 25th March 2026

A brand new 6-week women’s voice choir training experience for beginner and returning singers who want to ease back into singing — without the pressure of diving straight into the big choir.
Starting 2026 • Wednesday evenings
Perfect if you…
• Want to sing but feel a bit nervous
• Haven’t sung in years and want a gentle restart
• Are curious about joining Lisburn Harmony in future
• Want to build confidence, find your voice & enjoy gorgeous harmonies
What to expect:
No auditions
Fun, supportive sessions
Connection, confidence & community
Learn singing basics in a friendly, safe, inclusive space
By the end of the 6 weeks, you’ll feel more ready to step into the full choir — or simply enjoy the experience for its own sake!

We will be using sheet music, and will be working to make it accessible to everyone. Don’t panic! 

Our New Musical Director 

Jane Furness 

Hello friends! I’m Jane, a busy home educating mum of two littlies,  and I am very excited to begin working with Kirsty and Lisburn Harmony Extra. Singing groups and choirs are my favourite musical experiences, and I have been involved in them for as long as I remember; from school choirs and a local youth choir in Dungannon as a child, to my university and college choirs at City University London and Cambridge University. Being a part of the London Philharmonia Chorus and singing with the chamber choir at Wells Cathedral School have also been highlights, before embarking on my music teaching career in Cambridge and Hertfordshire in England, followed by an expat year teaching in China. I’m currently enjoying singing with Gathered Voices in Dungannon and I’m delighted to be part of the team who are encouraging more singers in our communities!

Venue

St. Patrick’s Parish Centre is on Chapel Hill, Lisburn. There are two public car parks, free in the evening, available beside the venue. These are on Longstone Street, and Governors’ Road. There are accessible car parking spaces at the Parish Centre too. We will be singing in the Magheramesk Room, on the left of the large hall. The venue is completely accessible for anyone with additional needs. 

The Music!!!!

You can look forward to a variety of genres and song styles. Lisburn Harmony prides itself on an eclectic mix of songs, and Lisburn Harmony Xtra will be the same. Some a capella, some pop, maybe a Musical Theatre classic, something from the repertoire of modern Women’s voice composers…..
