NCH Youth Choir Summer School

Wednesday 8 July – Saturday 11 July inclusive
​​​​​​​
Course Director Ciarán Kelly
Accompanist: Orlaith Sharkey
Tutors: Naoise Whearity, Sorcha O’Regan

An opportunity to get involved in choral singing at the highest level, this four -day course is open to all abilities of teenage singers aged 13-18, working with choral experts and learning repertoire which is both varied and challenging. There are no auditions, so less experienced singers can sign up for full participation in rehearsals, theory and vocal lessons, and look forward to a public showcase performance in the NCH’s historic Kevin Barry Room on Saturday 11 July, 3pm.

The Course is directed by Ciarán Kelly (choral director of NCH youth choir Cór Linn) alongside experienced choral leaders Naoise Whearity and  Sorcha O’ Regan with Orlaith Sharkey as resident accompanist. The repertoire this year will focus on Irish composers and arrangements old and new, from Carrickfergus to Kodaline!

There will be daily opportunities to learn and practice choral skills, including conducting and individual technique sessions as well as singing some great music. Sessions will be focused but relaxed, with plenty of time for socialising and chat as well as rehearsals and tutorials.
The final day will end with a free performance for family and friends, at 3pm in the NCH Kevin Barry Room.
