About this Event

Join the award-winning DCU Chamber Choir in the historic DCU All Hallows Chapel for an evening of choral music from Ireland and abroad, from ancient to modern times, as well as arrangements of pop favourites from Billie Eilish and The Beatles.

Proceeds of the concert will go toward the development of the DCU Chamber Choir. If you wish, you may add a donation to your purchase to support the future of the choir.

The DCU Chamber Choir is an ensemble of singers from all faculties and campuses of DCU, directed by Government of Ireland Scholar Kevin Boushel. The choir have performed on national television and radio, and have previously competed at the Derry Choir Festival and the Feis Ceoil, winning the Lombard Murphy Cup at the 2023 Feis. The choir have given world premiere performances of works by DCU composers and Irish premieres of works by international composers.
