This year’s summer school music team includes: Orla Barry, Ephrem Feeley, Fr Liam Lawton, Sharon Lyons, Derek Mahady, Columba McCann OSB and Bernard Sexton.
Workshops at this year’s summer school will include:
- Music by Irish composers
- Parish Cantor Training
- World Meeting of Families 2018
- Singing the Mystery of Faith.
There will also be a tutorial on choral singing and one on playing the organ. There will be a Youth Track as well featuring the New Generation Youth Choir. A new feature at this year’s summer school is a dedicated structured dialogue session so that those involved in music ministry can have a chance to share ideas, concerns and to learn from each other.
In recent years the timing of the summer school has been changed to include a weekend. This change has greatly facilitated all those people who cannot take a week away from the workplace. This year’s school begins on Wednesday 5 July and concludes on Saturday 9 July.
