Ensemble vocal Dulciana

Founded in January 2015 by Eoghan Desmond and Judith Lyons, Dulciana is a chamber choir committed to performing the very best in music for upper voices from across the ages.

They are also firm supporters of contemporary Irish composers, and have premiered pieces by Éna Brennan, Eoghan Desmond, Seán Doherty, Jonathan Nangle, and Alex Ryan among many others. Further recent performances and accolades include collaborative concerts with Dowry Strings, a performance of Vaughan Williams’ cantata Willowwood with the RTÉ concert orchestra as part of the Pipeworks festival, First Prize in the Female Equal Voice Category at the Derry International Choral Festival 2022, and best performance of a contemporary carol and overall winner of the 2022 RTÉ Lyric Fm’s Choirs for Christmas competition.
