Contemporary Choral Music Workshop
DCU All Hallows Campus
Join Laetare Vocal Ensemble and conductor Róisín Blunnie to explore exciting contemporary repertoire that the choir has commissioned / premiered / rehearsed / performed this year. Composers Rhona Clarke, Evangelia Rigaki, Laura Sheils, and Norah Walsh will be present to discuss their compositional inspirations and approaches and how they interacted with the choir and other collaborators to create their pieces.
We extend a warm welcome to conductors, composers, singers, and anyone interested in how contemporary choral music is created, rehearsed, and performed.
