Opus '96 Chamber Choir was formed, as the name suggests, in 1996. They are a Tralee based, four part SATB choir with a total of sixteen members.
The choir was formed with a view to performing all styles and genres of choral music, from early church and madrigals, to modern arrangements of popular songs.
The choir’s main focus is performance based, but they have competed in competition in the past such as the Cork International Choral Festival, the Pan Celtic Festival when it was held in Tralee, and in Llandudno Wales at the Sealink International Choral Festival.
The past few years, however, have seen them stand as Kerry’s premiere chamber choir, performing to large audiences at all their concerts.
Opus '96 have performed annually at the very famous Muckross House and Gardens in Killarney at their Christmas evening for their patrons, since 1998. This is always a memorable evening for both choir and guests with a very seasonal atmosphere in the house and the performance of all the standard Christmas greats as well as some new music from around the world.
Tickets €15 / €12 Conc
