Cantóirí is an exciting Dublin choir with an international membership. Our repertoire spans the centuries, from the Renaissance to the 21st Century.
Our particular speciality is folk music from all over the globe. This includes songs from Europe, Latin America and the Far East. Cantóirí sings each song in the original language. We are lucky as we have been able to draw on the language skills of choir members from countries such as Scotland, Finland, Poland, Italy, France, Russia, Germany, England, Austria, Hungary, Malaysia and Denmark.
If you are interested in joining us, please contact us in the New Year for details of any potential vacancies.
