Cór na nÓg is one of Ireland’s premier children’s choirs, offering high-quality vocal training and performance opportunities to young singers aged 9 to 13. In a fun, friendly, and supportive environment, members develop their musical skills while forming lasting friendships. The choir was established in 1987 by RTÉ’s Choral Director, Colin Mawby, and has been under the baton of acclaimed conductor Mary Amond O’Brien since 2011. The choir has performed hundreds of concerts with artists of the highest calibre, and their annual concert in St Ann’s is always a wonderful occasion, full of Christmas glitter and sparkle!

Guest singer Niamh Kavanagh needs no introduction to Irish audiences. As the winner of Eurovision 1993 and star of the best- selling soundtrack album The Commitments, she is also a judge on TG4 Junior Eurovision and tours regularly with The Illegals - a highly successful 7- piece band that pays homage to the wonderful music of the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. Niamh’s musical versatility and engaging personality has made her a firm fan favourite wherever she goes.
