A sold out joint concert on the longest day of the year, featuring 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.

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.

We were delighted to see so many friendly faces at our special Stanford 100 concert in St. Stephen’s Pepper Canister Church. Our audience experienced the sounds of Joyce’s Dublin as we performed a selection of Charles Villiers Stanford’s choral and organ works, marking the centenary of his death.

For this performance, Cuore were joined by special guest Siobhán Kilkelly on organ.
