Cois Cladaigh is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2012! Under the direction of Brendan O’Connor, this mixed voice choir is based in Galway and takes its name from a well-known area in Galway City “beside the Claddagh". The choir specialises in European music from the late 15th and early 16th centuries and also performs a formidable repertoire of contemporary choral music, particularly Irish but equally from Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and North America.
They gave a warm Galway welcome to the Irish Chamber Choir of Paris in 2010 who delights in the opportunity to perform with them in the Chapelle Saint-Patrick.
On 17 March at 20.30, Cois Cladaigh will give a concert of sacred music in the beautiful church of Saint-Séverin (3 rue des Prêtres Saint-Séverin, 75005 Paris).
