"Music
can be plain or elaborate, but right tunes and words always signify
God and His mighty acts. This is why creation, incarnation, and
sanctification constitute the essence of sacred music."
In Tune with Heaven, the Report of the Archbishops' Commission on
Church Music

We are delighted to announce that the Cathedral Choir will be making
two appearances on BBC Radio in the next few months. Firstly,
on Sunday 2 September BBC Radio Four's Sunday Worship will
be broadcast live from the cathedral at 0810. Later on in the Michaelmas
Term, we are honoured to be appearing on BBC Radio Three's Choral
Evensong, which has been broadcast live from cathedrals and
other institutions every week since 1928. This programme is on Sunday
9 December at 1600. More information about the broadcasts will appear
on this page in due course.

Visiting Choirs are always welcome at Christ Church, and both cathedral
and city have much to offer those who maintain and enhance our daily
worship in this way. Choirs come from all over the world to sing
in the unique surroundings of our nine centuries-old cathedral and
to enjoy life in Ireland's vibrant capital city. To find out more,
