Celebrate Christmas in spectacular style with the renowned Palestrina Choir and very special guests as they return to the National Concert Hall for their annual sell-out Christmas concerts.

The uplifting and enchanting voices of the boy choristers of the Pro-Cathedral, Dublin evoke the magic of Christmas with a festive mix of carols old and new, seasonal favourites, and opportunities for audience participation.

Conducted by Blánaid Murphy, The Palestrina Choir are delighted to be joined by very special guests, fellow choristers from St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral Girls Choir, who celebrate their 15^th anniversary this year, multi-award winning Continuum Youth Choir, International rising star soprano Ava Dodd (English National Opera, Frankfurt Opera, Wexford Festival Opera) and Irish actor Aidan Gillen (three time IFTA winner; BAFTA & Tony Award Nominee).   Accompanied once again by Dublin Brass and organist Aleksandr Nisse, both performances are presented by the ever-charming Mary Kennedy.

Bringing you two performances this year, the afternoon show will be ideal for families and young children (with a special visitor from the North Pole!), with the evening concert featuring a selection of joyous seasonal and traditional music, perfectly capturing the true spirit of Christmas.  

Join us for this joyous celebration of the magic of Christmas!
