The Choir of Christ Church Cathedral enjoys an enviable reputation as one of Ireland’s finest choirs. Tracing its origins to 1493 with the founding of the choir school, the cathedral choir has always been highly regarded in Dublin’s musical life and took part in the first performance of Handel’s Messiah in Dublin in 1742. With the largest repertoire of any cathedral choir in the country, covering more than five centuries and including many works commissioned especially for it, the present choir is a mixed ensemble of around eighteen adult singers. In addition to singing at five cathedral services a week, the choir is in demand for television and radio broadcasts in both the UK and Ireland, including BBC Radio Three’s iconic Choral Evensong and appearing on RTE’s Sunday Worship program and a special RTE Radio broadcast on St Patrick’s Day. The choir has previously toured in Ireland, England, France, Germany, Croatia, Slovenia and New Zealand. For more information about Christ Church Cathedral Dublin, visit christchurchcathedral.ie
