Summer Solstice Concert
A free joint concert with 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.
10th Anniversary Concert
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 with Cuore 2024
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!
Songs of Remembrance and Hope
We loved being back on the main stage in the National Concert Hall as part of this sold out charity concert organised by our alto, Davina Baker, in memory of her mother Monica.
A diverse and vibrant programme, from pop favorites by Coldplay to classical masterpieces by Bach, Kreisler, and Ysaye. Cuore’s contribution included uplifting music by Will Todd, William Byrd, and Javier Busto.
We were honoured to contribute to such a meaningful evening which raised over €18,000 for Our Lady’s Hospice in Blackrock. It was a reminder of the power of music to bring us together for good.
Stanford 100: Summer Concert 2024
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.
Mirabilia: Spring Concert 2024
Cuore stepped into spring with a vibrant and uplifting evening of choral music, for our first concert in the beautiful acoustic of St Mary’s Haddington Road.
Our audience heard us preview our repertoire for the prestigious Ave Verum International Choral Competition in Austria, featuring the Irish premieres of Non nobis, Domine by Erika Budai and In Taberna by Michał Ziółkowski.
