The Clerks Choral
The Collegiate Church


The Clerks Choral is a choir that sings traditional Anglican, Catholic and Lutheran repertoire throughout the Irish Academic year. The present choir is a versatile ensemble and the membership is drawn from many places, but there are strong links with Cork City and Department of Music at University College Cork.

The ensemble is an ancient institution that was revived in 2005. It descends from a foundation that began in 1464 when Thomas, Earl of Desmond, founded a College at Youghal. The foundation was later confirmed by his son James in 1472 - some of the College buildings and the Warden's House still survive at Youghal. The College consisted of eight fellows and eight singing clerks, but over the centuries this choral foundation was dissolved and reinstated owing to the turbulent history of these parts. Finally, a large parish choir, the previous inheritor of this long choral tradition, folded up in the 1970s and the organ that was in the chancel was removed in 1965. (A detailed history may be found here)

Whilst the Clerks retains some connexion with the Collegiate Church in Youghal, the choir has become an independent entity, active in singing at recitals and important liturgical occasions throughout the Munster and beyond.
