Events ~ Voice for Life Awards Service

October 1, 2011 4:00 PM

St Mary's Pro-Cathedral, Dublin 1

Dublin's St Mary's Pro-Cathedral will be filled with the sound of choristers, taken from Ireland's churches and cathedrals, on Saturday 1 October, as RSCM Voice for Life award winners are presented with their certificates.

A number of singers have achieved success in their Bronze, Silver or Gold Voice for Life awards examinations during the past academic year. RSCM Ireland, in association with St Mary's Pro-Cathedral, is marking the success of these young people by inviting them to sing alongside altos, tenors and basses taken from the choirs from which they come.

The RSCM's Voice for Life training scheme provides a framework for choral singers to develop their vocal skills, their musical and liturgical understanding and their knowledge of repertoire. The scheme comes with a range of teaching material and supporting resources and gives plenty of advice on the practicalities of running a choir. It is intended to enable choir trainers and teachers to train their choir or group more effectively, and to help singers grow as people as well as musicians. For more information about Voice for Life why not take a look at the RSCM's website www.rscm.com

All are encouraged to support our young people by attending the service which begins at 4pm.
