Chamber Choir Ireland is delighted to welcome back Swedish-born director Jeannin —renowned for her beautifully clear and succinct technique, and with a formidable repertoire knowledge and understanding across all genres. Their performance brings together pieces by Irish, French, and Swedish composers employing texts from some of the greatest poets and writers across the centuries that contemplate peace.
