The Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin

The Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin is one of Ireland’s most celebrated choral groups, rooted in the historic Anglican tradition of the 1,000-year-old cathedral itself. Known for its rich, resonant sound, the choir is made up of boy choristers and adult professional singers (known as "lay vicars"), maintaining a centuries-old choral legacy tied to daily worship and musical excellence. Their repertoire spans sacred works from Renaissance polyphony to contemporary compositions, with a special focus on British and Irish composers like Charles Villiers Stanford, whose liturgical music features prominently in their recordings.

Active in recording and performance, the choir has built a discography that blends timeless cathedral anthems with modern commissions, including collaborations with living composers like Francis Pott. Recent releases showcase their knack for balancing lush, traditional choral textures with thoughtful interpretations of newer works. Beyond the cathedral’s awe-inspiring acoustics, they’ve become ambassadors of Dublin’s musical heritage, touring internationally while keeping the city’s medieval musical flame alive through weekly services and evocative recordings.
