About Me

Cantiunculae, a 10 part chamber choir, were formed in Belfast in 1989 out of the ashes of the Aquinas Singers.

They have performed in concert and music festival venues throughout Northern Ireland, as well as Dublin, Sligo and Birmingham.

Singing mainly, though not exclusively, a capella they are directed by Grainne McCann.
Cantiunculae is a Latin term meaning "fascinating airs"
