Anúna (stylized in all caps) is a vocal ensemble formed in Ireland[7] in 1987 by Irish composer Michael McGlynn under the name An Uaithne. Taking the current name in 1991,[8] the group has recorded 18 albums and achieved a high level of international success, including a significant role in Riverdance from 1994 to 1996.[9] Almost all of their repertoire is composed or arranged by McGlynn.[9] Despite having been based in Ireland since their foundation and providing training to many Irish singers, McGlynn announced in December 2022 that the group would cease public performance in Ireland, while continuing in Northern Ireland and beyond.[7]
