Cór Bláth Oráiste
About Us
Cór Bláth Oráiste is a community choir based in Cork City. We are an expansion of our sister choir, Calliope, an octet formed in January of 2023. We are engaged in creating a space which promotes multicultural music education and community development by utilizing vocal music in a way that deepens our connections with one another. We are a choir that is not limited by genres or languages of choral music. We seek to experience and create any and all music possible with our voices. Rehearsals are held every Wednesday at 7:30pm in The Lee Cafe.
