\n Choirs from across the world took part in the annual event.\n <\/p>\n

The 2026 Limerick Sings International Choral Festival wraps up today, Sunday, June 7th, following a weekend of performances, workshops, and community events across the city.<\/p>\n

The festival, which aims to promote choral singing and support mental well-being through music, welcomed choirs of all traditions from Ireland, Europe, and the United States.<\/p>\n

The multi-day event featured a diverse lineup of local and international talent, kicking off with a ‘Young Voices’ youth choir concert in late May and finishing up with a busy weekend of choral events.<\/p>\n

The festival welcomed acclaimed UK vocal ensemble APOLLO5 and celebrated soprano and past Eurovision winner Eimear Quinn to Limerick Sings for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

APOLLO5 hosted interactive vocal workshops and performed a 15th-anniversary concert at the University Concert Hall.<\/p>\n

On Saturday night, the Redemptorist Church hosted a showcase featuring a diverse program of sacred, traditional, and folk music.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Performing groups included Choirfire (Colorado, USA), C\u00f3r Cois Abhann (Cork), Killaloe Male Voice Choir (Clare), Limerick Chamber Choir, and Voices of Limerick.<\/p>\n

Supported by RT\u00c9 Lyric FM presenters including Shirley Keane, Liz Nolan, and Lorcan Murray, the annual festival successfully brought together hundreds of singers, strengthening Limerick’s reputation as a prime spot for choral singers.\u00a0
