A voice of hope for Palestine in Limerick's University Concert Hall

THE BANAT al-Quds all-female choir from Palestine will perform a rare and moving concert at University Concert Hall (UCH), Limerick.

The concert takes place on October 28 as part of a three-city Irish tour hosted by Irish Artists for Palestine.

Formed in 2013 by the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music, it brings together over 40 young women from Jerusalem and the West Bank.

With the motto “We sing with pain, hope, honour and pride,” their music delivers a powerful message of resilience, dignity, and cultural identity.

Led by Palestinian composer and conductor Suhail Khoury, the choir will perform a repertoire that blends classical Arabic compositions with original works inspired by Palestinian heritage.

Their performances offer space for reflection, resistance, and emotional connection aiming to unify audiences through music, a universal language of struggle and hope.

Banat al-Quds' visit to Limerick is part of a broader cultural and humanitarian initiative aimed at amplifying Palestinian voices and building solidarity between Irish and Palestinian communities.

The Limerick performance promises to be an unforgettable evening of song, spirit, and international solidarity.

Irish Artists for Palestine is a network of musicians, writers, actors, and cultural workers in Ireland committed to expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people and supporting their struggle, through art, culture, and activism.
