"For me, this little piece is both a celebration of life and my small expression of opposition to the violence inflicted upon the youngest and most vulnerable.”

Cuore are grateful to @rte.ie lyric fm for the #ChoirsForChristmas prize money which majority funded this commission.

In the composer's words:
“Yeats’ beautiful yet brief poem evokes the image of a child dancing—innocent, free, and unaware of the future.
However, in today’s world, many children are deprived of safety and even lose their lives in the brutal wars waged by criminals."

Here's our Chairperson Garrath Patterson introducing the piece in the closing concert in Baden last year.

Garrath knows this piece well from his time in Anúna.

How many former Anúna members can you spot in the full video?

This is a traditional Irish piece arranged by Michael McGlynn, coincidentally recorded on his 60th birthday, in St. Stephan’s Church, Baden, where Mozart premiered his 'Ave Verum'.
Hear us sing it live in our 10th anniversary concert!

Great first rehearsal back yesterday: not even a power-cut could deter us from atonal jazz! Next was …. 'O nata lux' 🕯️and the lights later flickered on briefly during an “Alleluia”😅

The EPIC untold story behind Fairytale of New York

Apparently, the boys of the NYPD Choir have never sung "Galway Bay" until now.

Epic - The Irish Immigration Museum have made the video of them singing it and are donating €1 for every view to Dublin Simon Community, a cause close to Shane’s heart.
