The choir was formed in September 2015 and has enjoyed a variety of performance experiences to date, including featuring in RTÉ’s “Centenary” program which broadcast live from the Bord Gáis Theatre on Easter Monday 2016. Ború enjoy singing a varied repertoire, with particular emphasis on Irish works.

They are previous holders of the Sacred and Gospel trophies at The A.I.M.S. Choral Festival in New Ross. They have also competed in The Navan Choral Festival, The Sligo Choral Festival, The City of Derry International Choral Festival, the Cork International Choral Festival and travelled to festivals in Lake Garda, Krakow, Florence and Wales. They also sang in the Vatican in Rome on St. Patrick’s Day 2018.
Many people have asked about the name Canbelto Women’s Choir. It is a play on the singing term Bel Canto or beautiful singing. We call ourselves The CanBeltos because we can really belt out a tune.
We rehearse between 19:30 and 22:00 every Monday night in the Department of Education and Skills, Marlborough St, Dublin 1. (See map below!) For those who travel by car we offer secure, on site, parking. If you use public transport we are located within a 5 minute walk of the Spire on O' Connell Street.
Auditions usually take place in early September and throughout January, but other arrangements can be made outside of these times when necessary.
The choir sings a varied repertory spanning Renaissance polyphony to Contemporary music and arrangements, and takes particular joy in the performance of Irish-composed music.
In November 2019 the choir competed in the 3rd International Choral Festival of Aveiro, Portugal, where they were awarded the festival Grand Prix, first prize in the Female Voice Competition, and second prize in the Sacred Music Competition. In April of the same year, they were the winners of the Feis Ceoil Ladies Choir competition.
Cantairí Óga Átha Cliath was founded in 1960 by Proinsias O'Ceallaigh. The choir enjoyed huge success over the years under the baton of the late Brian O'Dubhghaill and later Bernie Sherlock, winning awards in many competitions in Ireland and abroad. Brian Dungan has conducted the choir since 2018 and under his guidance, the choir is continuing its long and successful tradition of choral music.
Cantando is a mixed voiced chamber choir. A highly accomplished and versatile group, as well as good friends, Cantando sing in a variety of styles and genres, expertly guided by their talented director Orla Barry.
They have performed in numerous concert locations around Ireland. They have taken part in International and National competitions at home and abroad. They were the first Irish Choir to achieve a gold award at the Verona International Choral Festival, were finalists in the Moore Stephens International Festival in Jersey, National Choir of the Cork Choral Festival and winners in numerous categories at Cork, Sligo, Arklow, Navan, New Ross and Dundalk. Cantando have made many recordings including several broadcasts for RTE and a double CD of Contemporary Church Music I sing for Joy. As well as challenging each other to reach the highest musical standards, a sense of fun and enjoyment is important to all members.
Cantóirí is a vibrant and friendly SATB chamber choir for adults. We share a common love of singing beautiful music together. Our rehearsals are Monday nights term-time 7.15-9.30pm.
We sing unaccompanied, short pieces. Our repertoire spans the centuries and styles, from Renaissance to modern. We have a particular interest in folk music from around the world. We aim to give 2-3 concerts and enter 1 national choral festival each year. We sing off by heart in most concerts and all competitions, so being a member takes commitment and some learning outside of rehearsals. Although sight-reading is not essential, familiarity with written music is helpful.
September & January are the best times to join, but we welcome interest from potential new members throughout the year. Our Soprano and Alto sections can fill up, but we often have room for new Tenors and Basses. There is a short audition. Members pay fees each term to cover the choir’s costs. There is a reduced rate for anyone who needs it. For more information about joining, please contact Cantóirí by e-mail or through Twitter @cantoirichoir
Choir Club is a fun community choir based in Leopardstown. It comprises 60 upper voice singers, and an essential part of the rehearsal is the tea, cake and chat before we get to work! We perform one concert in December each year with all proceeds going to charity, and also perform an annual Xmas session at Belmont Nursing Home. Rehearsals are just once every 3-4 week so this a choir for those with busy lives who just want to add a bit of singing and fun to their schedule!
Our goal is to bring choirs from different countries together to share their love of music, to hear one another perform, and to sing together for international audiences. We are an independent, Irish-owned company and we have been creating unforgettable music experiences for Irish choirs for over 20 years.
Cineálta Choir is a mixed voice adult community choir based in Dublin 15. Founded in 2023 by musical director Shauna Donnelly, the group welcomes anyone who loves to sing in the local area. Our name, Cineálta, means kind in Irish, and kindness, inclusion, and connection are at the heart of what the choir is all about! Rehearsals take place from 7–9 pm on Thursday evenings. The ability to read music is not essential, but is an advantage. Members sing a diverse mix of repertoire, from choral favourites to modern arrangements of popular and folk music from various cultures. Get in touch to join in!
