About Anúna
Anúna, generally stylised in all caps, is an Irish vocal ensemble founded in 1987 by composer Michael McGlynn, for whom it has served as the primary vehicle for the creation, performance, and recording of his choral music.
Originally known as An Uaithne, from the Irish word for musical consonance, the group adopted the name Anúna in 1991 and has developed a distinctive sound-world centred on newly composed works alongside reimagined historical and vernacular material. The ensemble was associated with Riverdance from 1994 to 1996, which brought it wider international visibility, but it had already established an independent artistic identity prior to that period and has since maintained a sustained international touring and recording profile.
Its work has extended beyond conventional concert contexts to include collaborations in theatre, film, and other media.
