summer SING! is an inclusive children’s singing festival which allows children from Ireland and around the world to experience the rich history and culture of Cork City, while nurturing their natural singing ability.
Presented by ARTlifeCULTURE and in partnership with Music Generation Cork City, this week-long initiative sees more than 200 young singers ages 6 to 14 gather daily in Millennium Hall before moving in smaller groups to rehearsals in a series of participating cultural spaces.
summer SING! also boasts a growing professional and volunteer, national and international staff of 150 children and youth arts enthusiasts. The team includes Sonya Keogh (Founding Director ARTlifeCULTURE); Stephen Brown (Guest International Vocal Clinician, from New York City); Chi Hoe Mak (Guest International Youth Vocal and Choral Clinician, from Malaysia); Meghan Pappenheim (Facilitator, mindfulness and drumming workshops, from Bali); Gemma Sugrue (Guest Pop Vocals Clinician, from Cork); Peter Stobart (Guest Choral Conducting Clinician, from Cork); Jennifer Giustino (Guest International Early Years Clinician, from New York City); and Alicia Edwards (Festival Operations Advisor, from New York City).
Cork’s young singing citizens will experience public spaces as never before as they engage in open-air warm-ups, impromptu public performances and smaller rehearsals in a variety of Cork City’s cultural and civic spaces.
In addition, the festival will include a series of special summer SING! events, all of which are free to attend and open to the public.
