Limerick Chamber Choir

Limerick Chamber Choir:

Limerick Chamber Choir was formed by Máire Keary-Scanlon in 2017. The choir is made up of singers from the Limerick area with diverse musical backgrounds, many of whom have performed together previously in other ensembles.

A significant part of their repertoire to date has been works by living composers, both Irish and international, however the choir does enjoy singing works from other eras too.

Most recently, Limerick Chamber Choir brought their concert ‘Of Stars And Light’ to audiences in Limerick and Wicklow, they performed in St Mary’s Cathedral for Limerick Mental Health Week, and they performed the European premiere of the National Geographic ’Symphony For Our World’ at the LIT Gaelic Grounds, Limerick, together with an 80-strong symphony orchestra. It was the only Irish performance of this monumental work and the choir was delighted for the invitation to be the featured vocal ensemble.

Limerick Chamber Choir performed the world premiere of three choral works by Seán Doherty at the Bealtaine Festival in 2017, and in future they endeavour to continue to provide a platform for the works of both emerging and established Irish choral composers.
