Cork International Choral Festival

Welcome to the Cork International Choral Festival YouTube channel!

Founded in 1954 to be a dynamic force in developing choral music in Ireland, Cork International Choral Festival has become one of Europe’s leading competitive showcases for vocal music, as well as a much loved cultural institution in the city! 

Held annually for five days over the course of the May Bank Holiday weekend, the Festival brings the sound of over 5,000 voices to bars, restaurants, galleries, churches, and civic spaces around the city, including Cork City Hall, one of the most attractive and acoustically superb venues in Ireland.
