“ANÚNA has had over 250 singers through its ranks in the last 35 years. In Ireland the group provided a massive resource, training and nurturing young singers, some of whom, including many of the Celtic Woman soloists and Hozier, went on to significant success internationally. With our limited resources in Ireland it eventually has become impossible to provide, in isolation of any infrastructure or financial support, the level of experience and training necessary for us to continue performing at home in public. From December 2022 we have ceased performance and training in the Republic of Ireland.

Anticipating this, in 2015 the ensemble began to become fully international, with singers coming from Poland, the USA, Iceland, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Slovenia, Sweden, Belgium, the U.K., Germany and France over the last 7 years. Today the group is philosophically based in Ireland and the ethos remains Irish through the music and the experiences gained over time”
