The Cork International Choral Festival was founded in 1954 and has been held annually over the five days preceding the first Monday in May ever since. It is a celebration of choral music in its many forms as every year Cork welcomes choirs from across the world to assembly for a selection of Gala concerts, Schools Concerts, National and International Competitions, and world-class performances.
One of the highlights of the festival involves the amateur international choirs competing against one another for the Fleischmann International Trophy.
