The only one of its kind in Ireland, this seven-day intensive professional choral training under the artistic direction of Dr. Orla Flanagan, offers a wealth of expertise from an internationally-recognised conducting faculty.

"I am delighted to be involved in organising the 2023 edition of the Sing Ireland International Choral Conducting Summer School. Together with an exciting team of international tutors from Norway, Hungary, Sweden, Ireland and the UK, I look forward to an inspiring, energising and music-filled week for our participants."- Orla Flanagan

Complementing the core work, to include daily warm-ups, choir sessions and an evening of masterclasses, the course also includes a range of workshops to cover essential and stimulating topics to ensure a that your experience is varied, vibrant and valuable.
