- Close to home
- Appreciative audiences
- Lively music scene
Dublin’s musical scene is one of the richest in Europe and embraces all types of musical style. Every street corner seems to buzz with live music, from traditional Irish music-making in the countless pubs to classical concerts in the magnificent National Concert Hall at the heart of the city. Dublin also drips with literary connections; James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde all lived and worked in Dublin and there are many attractions across the city that can be visited. And, of course, there is lots of fun to be had in the city, ensuring a stay in Dublin is one our groups will never forget.
Concerts
Such a vibrant, musical city holds many opportunities for our groups’ music making. Choirs can enjoy a performance in St Patrick’s cathedral where regular lunchtime recitals are held throughout the year. The church of St Ann is also a wonderful formal choral venue which is frequently used for concerts. Bands can perform in venues right across the city, which include gardens, bandstands and amphitheatres.
