NCH Youth Choir Summer School

Wednesday 9 July – Saturday 12 July inclusive
All days 10am-4pm

Course Director Ciarán Kelly
Accompanist: Fergal Caulfield
Tutors: Naoise Whearity, Sarah Luttrell

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 14-18, 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 12 July, 3pm.

The Course is directed by Ciarán Kelly (choral director of NCH youth choir Cór Linn) alongside experienced choral leaders Naoise Whearity and Sarah Luttrell with Fergal Caulfield as resident accompanist.

There will be daily opportunities to learn and practice choral skills, including conducting and  solo technique sessions as well as learning 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 Studio.

For any teenager who loves to sing, this course is a great introduction to the world of choral music!
