CORK INTERNATIONAL CHORAL FESTIVAL COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Cork International Choral Festival Company Limited by Guarantee is the charitable organisation that brings the city of Cork to life with song. Since its inaugural event in 1954, the Festival has grown into a nationally-recognised celebration of choral music, offering a vibrant programme of concerts, workshops and competitions that attract choirs, composers and audiences from across Ireland and beyond.

Each year the Festival presents a series of high-profile events, including the Friday Gala Concerts, a newly-launched Choral Composition Course with composer Seán Doherty, and a range of national applications for emerging groups. By partnering with principal sponsors, cultural partners and local arts organisations, the Festival provides a platform for both established and emerging talent to showcase their work, foster community engagement and enrich Cork's cultural calendar.

Rooted in Cork, the Festival serves singers, composers, educators and music lovers throughout the Republic, championing the power of collective voice to inspire, connect and celebrate Irish musical heritage.
