May 2016

The Mayo International Choral Festival will take place across Castlebar's region in fantastic locations and venues from Wednesday 25th May to Sunday 29th May 2016.

The theme of the festival is to allow choirs to meet with other choirs, relax and enjoy a great weekend in the beautiful and inspiring Mayo.

There will be international and national choirs, a local adult choir and a local youth choir, all performing in venues with special acoustics.

Competitions are open to the public from Saturday and, that night, the winning choirs will perform at the Gala Choral Concert. All long Saturday mini-performances of choirs will also take place on the streets and at the Mayo Memorial Peace Park.

On Sunday morning at 8am a must for the music lovers is the event, the Dawn Chorus, on the shores of the beautiful Lough Lannagh, Castlebar.

On Sunday morning at 10 am the Choirs will also sing at Mass in various locations in Mayo.
