Lorica

LORICA is an award-winning Dublin choir founded in 2024 and directed by Dr. Michael T. Dawson. We are a chamber choir of singers who value both Irish traditional and folk music and the development of the choral arts. In our first year, LORICA won the Oak Tree Trophy at the Derry International Choral Festival. We are currently releasing an album of Irish folk song choral arrangements on Spotify and YouTube. Dr. Michael T. Dawson is a multi-award-winning conductor, educator, and co-founder of the Irish Institute of Music & Song. He is Artistic Director of LORICA and of the Maynooth University Chamber Choir (National University of Ireland). A Fulbright Scholar, he earned his Doctorate in Musical Arts in Choral Music from the University of Southern California. Renowned for his energetic and dynamic teaching style, Dr. Dawson delivers more than 50 masterclasses and workshops each year and is a respected adjudicator and member of the World Choir Council. A former member of Anúna, he has recorded several internationally recognised albums and soundtracks, including the TV series Vikings and the video games Diablo III and World of Warcraft. His choirs have performed and recorded with internationally famous artists Dermot Kennedy and Phil Coulter.
