[vc_single_image media="11901" caption="yes" media_width_percent="100"]As part of the Cork International Choral Festival’s aim to get everyone singing from the same hymn sheet (literally), we’re continuing the very successful collaboration between the festival and St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral for a very special day-long Big Sing rehearsing and performing some of our history’s most magnificent choral works. The day will be led by the festival's Artistic Director and Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral Director of Music, Peter Stobart.

For 2020 we have chosen one of sacred music's most uplifting choral works: Antonio Vivaldi's Gloria. Saturday 8th February 2020 is the date to book on your diaries to come and sing this rousing masterpiece that many of us know and love!

Singers from all backgrounds are welcome, but reading music would be a great asset. The piece will be then performed that same evening.

If you would not like to sing, you can come to listen to the performance at 6.30 pm – Free admission, however donations are welcome.[vc_button border_width="0" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fcorkinternationalchoralfestival.ticketsolve.com%2Fshows%2F873617322||target:%20_blank|"]Register now[/vc_button]
