Choral Sketches 2018

Choral Sketches is a professional development opportunity for composers wishing to develop their skills in writing choral music from Chamber Choir Ireland and the Contemporary Music Centre.

Composers David Coonan, Jug Markovic, Barry O’Halpin and Norah Walsh were selected from an open call to participate in the project. Each received mentoring from renowned composer Tarik O’Regan to develop a number of sketches for new choral works, culminating in a public workshop led by Tarik O’Regan with Chamber Choir Ireland and Guest Director Nils Schweckendiek on Saturday, 20 January 2018 in the Kevin Barry Room, National Concert Hall, Dublin.
