Each year, participants gather in a different host country for an intensive ten-day programme of rehearsals, culminating in a series of charity performances.

The Birr concert forms part of a three-concert Irish tour, with performances also taking place in Galway Cathedral on 19 August in aid of Galway Hospice, and at The Helix, Dublin, on 21 August in aid of Friends of St Luke's. Every ticket sold will help support these vital charities.
