A fully amplified evening concert of vocal music in celebration of Ardú's 10th birthday! 

Join us at The Button Factory on July 27th and celebrate ten magical years of a cappella singing with intricate harmonies, funky rhythms and powerful solos from Ardú's six singers. The show will also feature a performance by the wonderful Dulciana Vocal Ensemble!

Ardú is an award-winning ensemble and a pioneer of contemporary vocal music in Ireland. They have a busy touring schedule and have so far represented Ireland at international festivals in London, Edinburgh, Finland, Croatia, Austria, Italy and Slovenia, often supported by Culture Ireland. Ardú also regularly perform at high profile Irish festivals, such as Boyle Arts Festival (2023), City of Derry International Choir Festival (2020), MusicTown Festival (2020), K Fest (2019) and the Cork International Choral Festival (2018). The group has featured on TV and radio including the Ray D’Arcy Show, the BBC Proms, Marty in the Morning and Sing: Ultimate A Cappella on Sky One, and in 2019 they supported American a cappella group Straight No Chaser at the National Concert Hall in Dublin.

Ardú have released three studio albums to date: ‘Gravity’ (2018), ‘LIVE’ (2020) and ‘Songs from Here’ (2022). The most recent one has been nominated for a CARA (Contemporary Acappella Recording Award) and selected as runner-up in the category of 'Best European Album', while their music video for their single 'I Wouldn't Be' was nominated for an AVA (Acappella Video Award) as 'Best Video by a Professional Group'.
