The Cathedral Choirs
The choirs at Christ Church Cathedral bring their reputation for excellence to our regular sung services.
The Choir of Christ Church Cathedral Dublin
The Choir of Christ Church Cathedral is one of Ireland’s finest choirs.
Tracing its origins to the founding of the choir school in 1493, the cathedral choir took part in the first performance of Handel’s Messiah in Dublin in 1742.
In addition to singing at three cathedral services a week, the choir is in demand for television and radio broadcasts in both the UK and Ireland.
The choir has also recorded several CDs, including an award-winning collection of Christmas Carols and the critically acclaimed ‘Meditations and Remembrances’ and ‘I Love All Beauteous Things’.
The choir has toured extensively in Ireland, England, France and the U.S. It has performed in concerts and at services in New Zealand, Germany, Croatia, Italy, Slovenia, and in Westminster Abbey.

Cathedral Girls’ Choir
The Cathedral Girls’ Choir was re-established in January 2013 and quickly became an integral part of Dublin’s oldest cathedral.
Choristers are aged between nine and 18 and rehearse twice weekly, singing Evensong every Wednesday and frequently joining forces with the Cathedral Choir. They also perform at other venues in Dublin and regularly tour the country.
Choristers come from schools across Dublin, and membership is free. The choir is open to girls of any faith or no faith. Successful applicants receive professional training and voice coaching.
Parents of girls interested in auditioning for a place in the choir can contact the ei.hcruhctsirhc@elttil.mot for more information.
