Meitheal is an Irish word for neighbours coming together to help one another with work that benefits the whole community. Harvesting crops, building homes, supporting families during busy seasons.
The choir takes its name from that tradition of shared effort.
Every performance is a collective act. Singers, audience, composers, volunteers, and community partners all contribute to creating something that belongs to everyone.
Just as a traditional meitheal gathered around the work of the land, this ensemble gathers around the shared work of music.
