MUS20520 UCD Choral Scholars Spring 2024-25

Academic Year 2024/2025

This module offers students already awarded a choral scholarship in Semester 1 the opportunity to participate in the UCD Choral Scholars ensemble as a creditable module across levels 1-3. The Scholars perform regularly both in UCD and at concerts and engagements nationally and abroad. Their repertoire is very diverse, embracing music from renaissance polyphony to jazz standards and popular arrangements, and includes both a capella singing and orchestral choral works. There are 18 places altogether, a certain number of which become available on a yearly basis. Admission is by audition at the start of semester 1.

An application form (and information on the scholarship) is available online at http://www.ucdchoralscholars.ie/ (click on the Recruitment tab for the form). Registration alone does not guarantee participation. You should have secured a place in September by AUDITION.
