Singers for Chamber Choir Ireland (CCI) Studio 2025 Picture: Mark Stedman
Fifteen of the finest emerging choral singers from across Ireland and Northern Ireland have completed their first weekend of training as part of the Chamber Choir Ireland (CCI) Studio of 2025.
One of these fifteen is Kilkenny's Hilary Lennon, performing as an alto. Hillary was chosen following a highly competitive selection process last autumn and is no stranger to the world of professional choir singing, having been part of Galway's leading choir Resurgam.
The CCI studio was established to offer dedicated training and development for young singers, equipping them with the necessary skills and experience to pursue a professional choral singing career.
The weekend saw these young artists working with conductor Eamonn Dougan (The Sixteen, Britten Sinfonia Voices), taking part in workshops and rehearsing alongside mentors from within the ranks of Chamber Choir Ireland. They will return for another two training weekends in March and May.
In addition to the training weekends, the CCI Studio singers have the opportunity to observe Chamber Choir Ireland rehearsals, attend CCI concerts, and later in the year, some Studio singers will be selected to perform in concert with Chamber Choir Ireland.
