Join us for the World Premiere of a new Irish work, A tribute to our nation’s capital city, and marking our choir’s 75th Anniversary

Join us for the World Premiere of a new Irish work. The centrepiece of our 75th celebrations, “The City of Our Dreaming’ concert. Celebrating our great city, our liberties’ origins, our musical tradition, and our commitment to Irish artists. The text for ‘The City of Our Dreaming’ is an original poem by Paula Meehan, commissioned by the choir and composed for choir by Seán Doherty. Paula’s poem is a truly remarkable work of contemporary Irish literature set in Dublin, and Seán has distilled its essence into a warm, sensitive, and exciting choral experience.

Including other music from our extensive repertoire, featuring Paula Meehan (Irish Poet Laureate), Soloists Leanne Fitzgerald (Alto) and Bren Berry (Singer-Songwriter), and directed by Ciarán Kelly in the magnificent surroundings of St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
