UCD Choral Scholars are launching a crowd-funding campaign through Fundit.ie this April 2014 to commission internationally-acclaimed Swiss composer Ivo Antognini to create three choral pieces based on a selection of three texts by Irish poets. We have previously performed and recorded Antognini's music, and continue to build a strong international relationship with the composer.

Our funding goal is to raise €7,000 to commission Antognini to write these pieces for us, and then to give the world premiere of the compositions at the choir's annual Christmas Concert in University College Church, Dublin, Ireland - with the composer present, in December 2014. The Swiss premiere would take place in May 2015 at the inaugural Ivo Antognini Festival, in Ticino, as the choral scholars have already been invited to headline this festival, performing around a dozen of Antognini's compositions.
