Their recent masterclass in Moate with the composer Colin Mawby proved even more fruitful as it was his wonderful choral work Angelus Domini which secured them these two major accolades.
Colin Mawby Master Classes - Feb 2011
Internationally renowned composer Colin Mawby treated the Academy Chamber Choir and the Academy's "Moate Youth Choir" to a masterclass which they will never forget. Prior to this wonderful experience each choir had been working on pieces composed by Colin Mawby, who has worked with internationally recognised superstars such as Charlotte Church, Celtic Tenors and the Westminster Cathedral choir to name but a few. During the masterclass, Mawby worked on these pieces until they were perfect. The Choirs went on to use the pieces in both concert and winning competition performances throughout the year. Following the master classes both choirs performed the works at a concert with leading Irish Organist Shane Brennan to rapturous applause. More Photos Click Here
