Ireland’s flagship vocal ensemble and the festival’s choir-in-residence, Chamber Choir Ireland, will once again grace the Festival with its presence with a concert under the direction of acclaimed conductor Gabriel Crouch.

Stretching right to the end of the Palestrina 500 celebrations in 2026, we combine Palestrina’s greatest mass, named after Pope Marcellus and sung at Papal Coronations until the mid 20th Century, with Gabin Bryars’ setting of the words of Pope Leo XIII – On Photography; and concludes with a new work by Ayanna Woods which conjures the perfect light for the photographer’s art – The Golden Hour. The programme will also include a performance of the winning entry of the Seán Ó Riada composition competition.

Ticket Exchange/Refund
Once purchased tickets cannot be exchanged or refunds given. Refunds will only be made in the event of a cancelled performance.
