About us

Who are we?

Culwick is a vibrant, friendly choir of all ages, drawn from all over Dublin and neighbouring counties.

We take great pleasure in singing a wide variety of choral music. We are always delighted to welcome new members in all vocal categories - soprano, alto, tenor, and bass.


What do we sing?

In recent years we have performed outstanding choral works such as Handel's Messiah, Fauré's Requiem, Haydn's Creation, Saint-Saëns's Christmas Oratorio, and The Light of Life by Elgar. We engage top-level soloists and instrumentalists for our concerts.

We love to vary these pieces with more recent works such as John Rutter's Magnificat, Cecilia MacDowall's Christus Natus Est, and modern settings of familiar songs, several of these arranged by our Culwick repetiteur, Eoin Conway.

Our musical director David Leigh is also the organist and Assistant Master of the Music at St. Patrick's Cathedral. He has extensive experience leading choirs at all levels and is currently Director of the St Patrick's Cathedral Girls' Choir.


When and where do we meet?

Thursdays between 7.30 p.m. and 9.45 p.m., in Wesley House on Leeson Park, Dublin 6.

We have two main concerts each year, one in November/December and another in May, which are the highlights of each season of singing.

We have also sung recently in venues such as St. Ann's Church in Dublin, the Unitarian Church in St Stephen's Green, and St. Andrew's Church on Westland Row.

We take great pleasure in opportunities to travel abroad to perform in other places such as, most recently, in the glorious setting of the Iglesia de San Agustín in Santiago de Compostela. We have participated in choral festivals in Calella (Cataluña), Prague and Rome.
