Cork choral fest to welcome performers across 90 venues

Choirs from across Ireland and around the world will perform in more than 90 venues across Cork city and county when the Cork International Choral Festival returns from April 29 to May 3 this year.

One of Europe’s longest running choral festivals, the event will see performances in concert halls, historic spaces and unexpected settings across the city.

The festival’s artistic director Peter Stobart said: “For five days, Cork becomes a place where voices meet, where audiences stumble upon music in unexpected spaces, and where people connect through something as simple and powerful as singing together."

At the heart of the festival remains the prestigious Fleischmann International Trophy Competition, which draws outstanding amateur choirs from around the world to Cork each year.

The Cork International Choral Festival is proudly supported by The Arts Council, Fáilte Ireland, Cork City Council and Cork County Council, with media partners including the Irish Examiner, The Echo and Cork’s 96FM. See corkchoral.ie.
