Next year’s festival takes place from April 27th to May 1st  2011 and we are keen to yet again attract overseas choirs to join us to take part in this celebration of choral music. Cork welcomes choirs from across the world for a programme of choral concerts, national and international competition, and internationally renowned performances as thousands of participants bring the city to life for five days in May. For visiting choirs, Cork provides an opportunity not only to perform; but also to experience some of the world’s best choral music, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the mingling, singing and fun of the festival club, and explore the vibrant city of Cork and its surrounds on Ireland’s beautiful south coast.
