Diva Voces is a female-voice choir established in 2006 by experienced conductor, Liz Powell. The choir rehearses every Tuesday evening from 7:30 - 9.30pm in a Dublin city-centre venue.
The choir's repertoire is wide-ranging; from Pergolesi to Cole Porter and encompasses classical, blues, jazz, spiritual and pop. The choir is a fun-loving but hard-working group and has grown in both standard and numbers. Conductor Ruaidhrí Ó Dálaigh has recently joined and the choir is now seeking new members. An ability to sight read is an advantage but not required. Diva Voces has featured on RTÉ Radio's 'The Business' and 'The Arts Show' and performs concerts regularly.
Dolce is a mixed-voice choir, of over 60 members, now rehearsing in Raheny, Dublin 5, on Thursday evenings from 7.15pm (tenors and basses) or 8pm (sopranos and altos) until 10pm. Positivity, community and musical excellence are the 3 core values of the choir, and the atmosphere at rehearsals promotes and reflects these ideals. The music sung is an eclectic mix of choral favourites, modern arrangements of popular and traditional music from various cultures along with modern choral compositions. Dolce has travelled abroad to Bilbao, Bonn, Bratislava and looks forward to more trips following COVID. Singing in small groups in wooded areas of a local public park, Dolce succeeded in staying together throughout the COVID lockdowns but members are delighted to be rehearsing normally again. Dolce has won many prizes in choral festivals and competitions throughout Ireland.
Dolcissimo is a ten person vocal ensemble, initially founded in 2006 under the musical direction of Deirdre Ní Chaomhánaigh. We sing a mixture of secular and sacred music, and songs include ‘Moon River’, ‘Bring me Sunshine’, ‘Bring Him Home’, ‘Loch Lomond’, Taverner’s ‘The Lamb’ and Bruckner’s ‘Locus Iste'.
Under the guidance of Musical Director, Paul Deegan, the choir perform regularly in competitions, festivals and concerts and have a diverse repertoire encompassing sacred and secular, ancient and modern music from many countries and cultures. We practice every Tuesday evening in St Vincent de Paul Girls National School, Griffith Avenue, Marino, Dublin 3 which is approximately 10 minutes from Dublin City Centre. We hold occasional open evenings where potential new members are invited to come and meet the choir and sit in on a rehearsal. The ability to read music is not essential as the rudiments of sight reading are incorporated into our rehearsals, as is vocal training. If you are interested check out our website for more information and contact us through that or at the email address below.
The Dublin Bach Singers was founded by Blánaid Murphy in 2002 to bring together excellent choristers who share a great love of Bach. Their inaugural performance that year, Handel's Messiah, established the choir as an instant success.
Subsequent years have seen a charity performance of the Saint John Passion, participation in the Bach Cantata Series, and a performance of the Mozart Mass in C Minor at the NCH. The DBS Messiah performance each Christmas in the Pro-Cathedral has become a fixture in the Dublin musical calendar. Since 2014, the choir has performed an enormous range of works, such as Britten's War Requiem the, Saint John Passion, the Magnificat by CPE Bach, the Stabat Mater by Domenico Scarlatti, a Claudio Monteverdi programme, Handel’s virtuosic Dixit Dominus, Bach’s B Minor Mass, and the atmospheric Requiem by Maurice Duruflé.
Dublin City Choral Union was founded in June 2018 under the artistic direction of Duncan Brickenden.

Rehearsals take place on Wednesdays from 19:00 to 21:30 in Molesworth Place, Dublin 2.
Bio:This big choir (130+ members) is perhaps unique amongst Dublin choirs in having developed, since its first public outing in 1977, a hugely varied repertoire, ranging from the great classical masterworks such as the Verdi Requiem and Carmina Burana to fun material such as the Beatles, Carpenters, Beach Boys & Queen and just about every other choral musical genre.
We like, every so often, to rock and swing as well as put on a serious face! We’re based in Dundrum, Co. Dublin, but with a membership drawn from all over the city and beyond into Wicklow. We enjoy our music, but we also want to reach as high a quality of performance as our team of professionals, conductors Colin Block and John Dexter, and repetiteur Celine Kelly can draw from us. The spur for this is the public concerts we present each year, typically in spring and autumn as well as at Christmas. Dublin’s National Concert Hall is our usual performance home, but we have played many other venues at home and abroad, including, in the past few years, Carnegie Hall, New York,the Royal Albert Hall , Mercedes Benz Arena Berlin and the Palais Montcalm in Québec City.
DGC are a group of performers with a shared love of music and the joy it can bring. Versatile, professional, passionate and vibrant, they uplift and energise with powerful voices and rich harmonies. They have shared the stage with music industry heavyweights such as Rod Stewart, John Legend, Kodaline, Outkast, Take That, Damien Rice, Duran Duran and Ennio Morricone to name but a few.
