National Chamber Choir (Ireland)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Chamber Choir (NCC) of Ireland was founded in 1991 by composer and conductor Colin Mawby. It is an independent, full-time professional ensemble, with its seventeen members drawn from the ranks of Ireland's top singers. In 1995 the National Chamber Choir became Choir-in-Residence at Dublin City University, a move that has made a very significant impact on the security and future development of the group. Its base is The Helix at Dublin City University. The Choir's current Artistic Director designate, Cologne-based conductor Celso Antunes, a native of Brazil, succeeded Colin Mawby in May 2002. The National Chamber Choir is funded through a contract with RTÉ, grant aid from the Arts council, funding from the Department of Education and Science, a contract with Opera Ireland and continuing support from loyal sponsors.
