Sing Ireland presents the Irish Youth Choir under the direction of Bernie Sherlock in their summer concert, Cloudburst.
This concert is the culmination of this year’s Irish Youth Choir Summer Course. This year singers were challenged with multiple breathtaking but difficult pieces of music. At the heart of the programme is Cloudburst by the American composer Eric Whitacre – his exciting, personal response to a cloudburst he experienced in the desert – and Rautavaara’s dramatic Suite de Lorca.
This year’s whole programme is infused with human responses to the natural world in beautiful music by Brahms, Morley, Ēriks Ešenvalds, Rosephayne Powel, and Eleanor Daley.
Sing Ireland and the Irish Youth Choir are delighted to be performing for the first time at the new TUD Concert Hall, Grangegorman for their Dublin Concert. We are excited to bring the Irish Youth Choir to this newly built, state-of-the-art facility.The Irish Youth Choir is an ensemble made up of singers from ages 18-28 who participate in an intensive summer course each year hosted at the University of Limerick. They perform in two summer concerts each year and recently participated in the 13th European Festival of Youth Choirs in Basel, Switzerland earlier this year.
