If you are looking for an international experience of participating in a choral festival, Limerick Sings should be at the top of your list. From the moment we contacted festival organizers two years in advance, till the day we left, it was evident Limerick Sings is where we needed to be.  Limerick Sings organizers and staff, be proud of your achievements. Their hard work has given us a lifetime of beautiful memories. Thank you.

Testimonials

The Limerick Sings Festival is truly a magical and memorable occasion for all involved. It provides children with the wonderful opportunity to sing in the prestigious University Concert Hall, an experience they will treasure for years to come. Seeing choirs from different schools and communities come together in such a spirit of unity and joy is incredibly uplifting. What makes this festival so special is its non-competitive nature — it allows children to showcase their talents, build confidence, and simply enjoy the pure pleasure of singing together. It is a celebration of music, teamwork, and creativity, where every child’s contribution is valued and applauded. For teachers, it’s a rewarding chance to see their pupils shine on a professional stage, and for parents, it’s a proud and emotional moment to witness. Limerick Sings is undoubtedly a worthwhile and enriching event that brings schools, families, and the wider community together in the most positive way.

Our singers loved the Limerick Sings International Choral Festival! The energy was fantastic and we had a lot of opportunities to mingle with singers from Ireland and beyond. I cannot recommend this festival enough if you're looking for a supportive, stress-free musical experience.

The weekend is well organised and very friendly.  We had lots of opportunity to speak to singers from the USA, Ireland and Iceland. We’re very excited to be bringing Knot Another Choir Knaresborough from North Yorkshire England in 2024. See you there!

Testimonials

Limerick Sings was a tremendously thrilling festival to be a part of. It was both a high-level musical experience for our singers, as well as an exciting collaboration and exchange with choirs from all over the world. My singers loved meeting choirs from Ireland and Sweden and the US, sharing songs and stories during the social time, and gathering together to sing Haydn and share music from our cultures.

Testimonials

It was such an honor and pleasure to sing in the Redemptorist Church and at the Augustinians'. Our American kids very seldom if ever get to sing in such spaces. And as Henry Leck shares on his website about singing in a big, stone space "Once a child hears his or her voice in such a place they're changed forever in how they listen to choirs.”

- Bill Owens, Musical Director – The Honor Choir (Texas, USA)
