A free joint concert on the longest day of the year, between Cuore and two visiting American choirs on their tour of Ireland and the UK.

The Georgia Symphony Orchestra Chorus and the Uzee Brown Society of Choraliers are distinguished community ensembles from greater Atlanta, Georgia USA. Following several years of successful collaborative concerts, the choirs expressed a desire to travel together and perform abroad.

Join us for a festive evening of uplifting choral music from around the world and across the ages in the beautiful acoustic of St Mary’s Church, Haddington Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.

To include Irish premieres.

There will be no interval and the concert will last about 75 minutes.

We were privileged to open the annual Dún Laoghaire Summer Organ Concerts series with music for solo organ, unaccompanied choir, and choir & organ. Performing with Cuore was the Artistic Director of the series, organist Judit Máté.

• arr. Michael McGlynn - ‘Sí do Mhaimeo Í

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.
