New Dublin Voices is one of Ireland's leading chamber choirs. Under the direction of its international award-winning conductor and founder Bernie Sherlock, the choir has given the world premieres of over 80 works, leading the way in the performance and dissemination of Irish choral music both in Ireland and abroad, and in introducing music from outside Ireland to audiences at home. In 2024 New Dublin Voices celebrates the beautiful and wide-ranging poetry of Yeats and looks forward to making its Music in Kilkenny debut when it will perform interpretations of Yeats by composers from all over the world. The programme includes six new pieces which the choir commissioned with a funding award from the Arts Council. It is Yeats like you've never experienced him before.
