MTU Glór Choral Society, founded in 2019, is based in the Cork School of Music on Union Quay, Cork City. They sing a wide range of repertoire, from early music to modern, both secular and sacred. As well as focusing on learning music and performing together, there is an emphasis on socialising and getting to know your fellow choristers. The Society aims to provide an opportunity for students to sing together in a student-led ensemble, and the choir takes part in performances and masterclasses throughout the year. The choir also aims to provide a platform for student conductors to gain experience in working with an ensemble. Rehearsals are held every Thursday at 6pm in the MTU Cork School Of Music.
