Music in the Museum with Cantoral

Family friendly
Free to visit
The Museum will welcome Cantoral, a female vocal ensemble, to perform a selection of pieces in the reception area of the Museum to mark the Summer Solstice on Saturday 20th June 2026.

Inspired by the collections at Kildare Street, Cantoral will perform a short programme of medieval chant, song and polyphony that celebrates the Irish saints and Irish medieval musical heritage. The programme will include Letabundus decantet hibernicorum, a prosa for St Patrick from the 14th-century Dublin troper, Virgo decoratur, a chant from Office for St Brigid, found in a 15th-century Irish breviary, and Ecclesie pastores, an antiphon for St Gall, dating back to the 10th century (if not earlier), among many others.

Free, no booking required. This recital will take place in the Reception, on the ground floor, and will allow as many participants as possible to attend. Places allocated on a first come first served basis.
