Cór na nÓg (Childrens Choir)

Location:
National Concert Hall, Dublin, Co. Dublin
Conductor:
Mary Amond O'Brien

cór na nÓg was formed by RTÉ in 1985 for singers aged 9-14 and is one of Irelands leading treble SSA choirs (Soprano 1, Soprano 2, Alto).

Since moving from RTÉ to the National Concert Hall in February 2022 , with the National Symphony Orchestra, National Symphony Chorus and Cór Linn youth choir, we are enjoying rehearsals in our new home and opportunities to take part in exciting projects and concerts.

We meet in the NCH twice a week during term time and perform regularly, with Christmas always being particularly busy! The choir has sung in hundreds of events, working with guest musicians of the highest calibre, appearing on RTÉ TV and Radio as well as performances with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.

Our Team provides first-class choral tuition in a relaxed and happy atmosphere where young singers can develop both vocally and socially. The repertoire is varied with the best music from all genres. Many members continue their singing in Cór Linn youth choir and as adults, life-long friendships are formed and many have returned as Cór staff.

Singing is not just a hobby for us, it is a vital part of who we are, and as we head into our futures, we go confidently, knowing that we have been given, literally, Voices for Life.

B Minor Mass, Mozart’s Requiem, Handel’s Messiah, Faure’s Requiem and Haydn’s Creation. We

have also premiered new works by leading contemporary composers, including Bob Chilcott’s On

Christmas Night and Jonathan Dove’s Arion and the Dolphin.

In 2005, the Society received the Santa Cecilia Choral Award from the Vocal Heritage Association of

Ireland in recognition of its contribution to Dublin’s cultural life since 1898. In 2006, we were

pleased to be chosen as the Ryder Cup Choir at the opening of the tournament in the K Club, Co.

Kildare. In 2016, the choir participated in A Nation’s Voice, a celebration of the 1916 rising,

comprising about 1,000 voices.

In 2017, Culwick performed at the Canta Al Mar International Choral Festival in Calella, Spain, along

with many other choirs from around the world.

In 2018, to mark its 120th year, we commissioned a piece by the Irish composer, Sean Doherty,

based on the Brendan Kennelly poem the Happy Grass. It was premiered by Culwick at the National

Concert Hall in December of that year.
