Caterina Schembri - Piitcure by Neìstor Romero
Finding A Voice returns for its ninth year to various venues in Clonmel from 5th – 8th March 2026, presenting an ambitious four-day programme that celebrates the brilliance and diversity of women composers across history.
Founded in 2017 by sisters Róisín and Clíona Maher, over the past nine years the festival has featured music by hundreds of women composers, from the twelfth-century nun Hildegard of Bingen to newly commissioned works by Irish composers.

The 2026 edition offers a rich and varied programme of live performances, workshops, talks, and more. Hildegard Transfigured will bring the visionary sound world of Hildegard of Bingen into the present through the mesmerising vocal blend of Voice Trio with live visuals by Innerstrings, offering an immersive experience to launch the festival.
The festival’s chamber music collaboration with the National String Quartet Foundation brings the acclaimed Banbha Quartet to Clonmel in a programme spanning Romantic gems to bold contemporary writing as part of their Spring tour.
Pianists Mary Dullea and Isabelle O’Connell present Duel, an exciting two-piano concert featuring music by Chaminade, Beach, Tailleferre and Trimble, alongside the world premiere of a new work by Rhona Clarke inspired by Clonmel’s historic Code Duello.
The jazz and improvised music strand features violist-composer Joanna Mattrey with Battle Ready II and acclaimed vocalist Christine Tobin performing Pseudologica Fantastica, bringing adventurous, boundary-pushing, performances to Clonmel in a collaboration with the Improvised Music Company and BAN BAM.
