Part 4 - Choral Gatherings

Enhance your festival experience by performing non-competitively at other festival events! If you would like to be considered for participation in any of the Choral Gatherings, please indicate below:

Choral Trail

Join the Festival’s Choral Trail, where national and international choirs fill the city and county with song! Choirs will prepare a 15-minute programme of their choice. Due to space limitations at various venues, performances should be unaccompanied. If accompaniment is required, choirs must bring their own accompanist and instrument.

Choral Trail availability:

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

Sacred Trail

Festival choirs perform 4 to 5 pieces during local church services on Saturday evening or Sunday morning. While there’s no requirement to sing the main parts of the mass (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, or Agnus Dei), pieces should be religious and/or spiritual in character.

Sacred Trail availability:

Saturday (evening)

Sunday (morning)

Cork's funkiest food & crafts market, the Marina Market is our latest festival addition. Choirs are asked to prepare a 15-minute programme of popular music.
