Carols at Christmas

The Old and the New

Our hugely popular Carols at Christmas concerts are back!

This year, we celebrate the historic legacy of Irish carols, from the Kilmore Carols, Celtic chant, and traditional Irish folk tunes to new works and arrangements by some of Ireland’s leading contemporary composers.

The programme also features the premiere of the prize-winning carol from our inaugural Allport Award for New Music.
