[Events] Irish Youth Choir 2010: final auditions for Altos, Tenors, Basses aged 18 - 28 years this Wednesday on campus

[manager.aoic]

The Irish Youth Choir (IYC) seeks singers for its dynamic choir as it
prepares for its most exciting summer programme yet. So, if you are aged
18 to 28 this summer, fancy spending a week on the stunning University
of Limerick campus with up to 150 like-minded young people, followed by
your very own national tour, then read on.

 

This year the week-long residential programme of professional training
and rehearsals will take place in conjunction with the National Youth
Orchestra of Ireland (NYOI) and culminate in 3 live performances with
renowned soloists Owen Gilhooly and Cara O'Sullivan. Greg Beardsell,
Artistic Director will, along with a team of experienced tutors and
coaches, lead singers through an intensive week of coaching and
rehearsals, followed by concerts at the West Cork Chamber Music Festival
in Bantry, Wexford Opera House and the National Concert Hall, Dublin.

 

The 2010 programme includes Brahms' Requiem, Barber's Prayers of
Kierkegaard and Ives' The Unanswered Question. Greg Beardsell is fast
building a reputation as one of the most exciting choral conductors in
the UK, and has conducted The Irish Youth Choir since 2008. Cork-born
Cara O'Sullivan is an artist with an impeccable operatic pedigree who
has risen to prominence as one of Ireland's leading sopranos. Owen
Gilhooly is a classically trained baritone who began his training in the
Limerick School of Music and continued his studies at the National Opera
Studio in London. He is now engaged world-wide.

 

Applicants must be available from Saturday 26th June to Sunday 4th July
inclusive. Auditions in Irish World Academy of Music & Dance, Wednesday
19th May, from 4pm
