New Dublin Voices, an award-winning chamber choir based in Dublin, Ireland, was founded by conductor Bernie Sherlock in October 2005. NDV, whose concerts range in style and period from the medieval to the contemporary, takes special pleasure in exploring the music of living composers and has given many Irish premières, as well as eight world premières of works by Irish composers. As well as giving concerts, NDV is a regular participant in competitions, both internationally and at home in Ireland.

As well as concerts and competitions, NDV maintains a busy calendar of other activities including fund-raising – most recently charity concerts for Pakistan flood relief with Concern Worldwide, and for the PREDA Foundation which cares for neglected children in the Philippines – and television appearances – notably appearing with The Priests in their debut Armagh concert broadcast nationwide in the USA and Canada, and on RTÉ’s Off the Rails, The Den, and others. The choir works regularly with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and performs at various special public events, including the official launch in October 2008 of the Irish Arts Council’s first ever policy document for choral music, Raising Your Voice.
