Cuore sang three pieces as special guests at Cór Duibhlinne’s summer concert:
This concert marked Cór Duibhlinne’s 35th anniversary.
Thank you to our wonderful audience of 250 people who came to our anniversary concert, celebrating the rich musical tapestry we’ve woven since our first concert in April 2015.
We took a retrospective journey through the first decade of Cuore’s music-making, revisiting choir and audience favourites, and hidden gems from our repertoire. We were delighted to be joined by many alumni in the audience, and especially those who accepted our invitation to sing Kodály’s ‘Esti Dal’ with us.
We were also thrilled to present the world premiere of our anniversary commission in the presence of the celebrated Polish composer Michał Ziółkowski, with his beautiful setting of the evocative W. B. Yeats poem, To a Child Dancing Upon the Shore, crafted especially for Cuore’s 10th anniversary.
Christmas came early for Cuore in 2024, adding to the celebrations during our 10th anniversary season! We are thrilled to have won Best Overall Choir and Best Performance of a Contemporary Irish Choral Work in RTÉ lyric fm’s annual Choirs for Christmas Recording Competition.
Huge congratulations to the other prize winners and many worthy entrants: it’s fantastic to hear such great choral singing happening all over the country. 💚
Thank you to all of our wonderful audience who joined us for our uplifting evening of choral music from around the world and across the ages in the beautiful acoustic of St Mary’s Church, Haddington Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
A beautiful venue, stunning new music, and festive favourites performed by an award-winning choir. The perfect way to start your Christmas!
