RTÉ lyric fm Choirs for Christmas

Now in its 13th year, the established RTÉ Lyric fm Choirs for Christmas Competition invites choirs from all around the country to share their music-making with Lyric listeners throughout the Christmas season. Choirs from all corners of Ireland competed in last year's celebration with some outstanding entries and over 2,000 choristers made it to the Lyric airwaves.

If you think your choir can "Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly" or "Sing Glory to the New-Born King", get practicing and send in a recording. Entries will be chosen for airplay on Liz Nolan's Lunchtime Classics on RTÉ Lyric fm from the 8th of December.
