What a pleasure to have lyric tenor Christopher Bowen of Chamber Choir Ireland join us for a Choral Clinic at our rehearsal today! Chris has a wealth of experience as a professional soloist and ensemble singer with groups such as The BBC Singers and Theatre of Voices.
It was wonderful to work in detail on some of the Romantic and contemporary competition repertoire for our trip to the International Baltic Sea Choir Competition in two weeks time. Thank you to Chris for his insightful comments, encouraging feedback and good humour. Thank you also to Chamber Choir Ireland for organising these clinics and to The Arts Council for funding them.
We highly recommend that other Sing Ireland members apply for future choral clinic opportunities.
Beyond Cuore, our conductor and many of our singers conduct other choirs and teach music in schools, conservatories and universities; they bring what they learn with Cuore into their practice with their own students and choirs elsewhere.
If you’re inspired by what we do and would like to support Cuore in staging future workshops, we’d love to hear from you!
