A fantastic workshop of sketches by the 2017/2018 Choral Sketches participants took place in the Kevin Barry Recital Room of the National Concert Hall on 20 January 2018 in partnership with the Contemporary Music Centre. A selection of photos from the workshop can be viewed in the Gallery.
The Choral Sketches public workshop is a unique opportunity to experience the early stages in a composers process, as participating composers David Coonan, Jug Markovic, Barry O’Halpin and Norah Walsh joined Composition mentor Tarik O’Regan and Chamber Choir Ireland with Guest Conductor Nils Schweckendiek to explore their initial ‘Choral Sketches’ in an immersive free workshop open to the public.
The composers were selected from an open call to participate in the project.
