Calling all young musicians! There are just two weeks left to apply for the Irish Memory Orchestra Youth Orchestra & Choir programme! Online learning starts in November, and the orchestra and choir will meet to rehearse and perform during Easter 2022.
This new cross-genre orchestra and choir welcomes classical, trad and jazz musicians aged 10 -24, who are full-sighted, vision impaired or blind.
Following an audition process, all of the young instrumentalists and singers will rehearse and perform alongside core members of the Irish Memory Orchestra and professional blind and visually-impaired musicians. Together they will work towards a performance of Dave Flynn’s groundbreaking work, The Vision Symphony, conducted by Bjorn Bantock.
Full-sighted, blind and visually-impaired young instrumentalists and singers, performing at an intermediate to advanced level, should submit a video audition online by Friday 1 October. For full details and to apply visit: https://www.daveflynn.com/imoyoc
