Songs of the Sea

Set sail with Cór Fingal for an unforgettable evening of music inspired by the sea. Taking place in the beautiful surrounds of the National Maritime Museum, this concert explores the ocean’s power, mystery, and beauty through a rich tapestry of choral works — from rousing sea shanties to haunting modern compositions.

Traditional songs, including a lush arrangement of Shenandoah, sit alongside thrilling contemporary works like Jaakko Mäntyjärvi’s Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae, inspired by the 1994 Baltic Sea ferry disaster. Folk songs from Ireland, Scotland and Norway tell universal stories about going out to sea, parting from your loved ones, and — hopefully — returning safely home.

Tickets are €20.
