Chamber Choir Ireland, in collaboration with the National Concert Hall Education, Community & Outreach Programme, will host a series of Tuesday lunchtime lectures in January and February 2017. Curated by Stuart Kinsella, the series will explore the Chamber Choir’s history and origin by looking at the tradition of choral music in Ireland, amateur and professional, both in Ireland and within a wider European context.
