(By invitation only).

‘The City of Our Dreaming’ Thursday 7th May 2026

On Thursday 7th May 2026, The Guinness Choir will perform the Premiere of ‘The City of Our Dreaming’ in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin. This work has been specially commissioned by The Guinness Choir to celebrate the choir’s 75th Anniversary. Based on an original poem by renowned poet Paula Meehan and composed by the exciting Irish composer Seán Doherty, this is a celebration of Dublin City, of how creativity and memory shape our understanding of place, a poetic and choral map of belonging.

The concert will be a highlight event within the Culture Date with Dublin 8 Festival, 4th – 11th May 2026 and will include a special appearance by a well known Dublin musician. Details to follow!
