We are delighted to announce that the All Island School Choir Competition organised by Co-operation Ireland and RTÉ will take place during the Autumn 2012. Application and entry forms are currently being circulated to your schools and we look forward to receiving your entry form by the 31 of May. This is the fourth televised series of the All Island School Choir Competition, which brings young people together throughout the island and encourages the tradition of choral music in second level schools. The four regional heats will take place in Cork on the 8 of October, Castlebar on the 10 of October, Ballymena on the 15 October and Drogheda on the 17 of October with the grand final televised live from the new Titanic Quarter on Sunday the 11 of November.

We wish all schools the very best of luck for this competition.

Choral Conducting Prize

In a new initiative, a choral conducting bursary, supported by the Association of Irish Choirs will form part of the 2012 school choir competition and is open to choir conductors participating in the competition. The adjudicators will nominate one conductor for the prize and this will be announced at the end of the series.
