National Singing Week is an annual celebration in Ireland, organized by Sing Ireland, dedicated to promoting the joy and benefits of group singing.
The 2025 event took place from February 10th to 16th, featuring a variety of activities such as open rehearsals, live performances, and online sing-alongs. These events aimed to highlight the positive impact of communal singing on individuals and communities. Participants included choirs and singing groups from across the country, offering opportunities for both seasoned singers and newcomers to engage in musical expression. The week-long celebration underscored the unifying power of music and encouraged widespread participation in vocal arts.
