About

ANÚNA is an Irish choral ensemble founded in Dublin in 1987 by composer Michael McGlynn, who writes and arranges virtually all of the group's material. The choir blends medieval and traditional Irish music with contemporary polyphony, and rose to international prominence as the original choir of Riverdance (1994-1996), a collaboration that earned a Grammy Award. Since then ANÚNA has toured more than twenty countries and performed at venues including the BBC Proms and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
