Support the next generation of professional singers in the CCI Studio

There is currently no dedicated third-level study programme for singers seeking to become professional choral singers in Ireland.

Our most talented young singers emerge from their studies into a disheartening landscape, needing to travel abroad to access the training and professional experience they need to reach their full potential.

This year, 15 of Ireland’s finest emerging choral singers will take part in the CCI Studio 2025

—a year of bespoke professional development and performance opportunities, giving them the hands-on experience they need to progress and develop their professional choral career. Accessibility is central to this programme, and the full CCI Studio experience will be offered at no expense to the talented singers selected.

The CCI Studio is made possible by support from the Arts Council/ An Chomhairle Ealaíon, and by the generosity of Chamber Choir Ireland’s Supporters.

We need your support to ensure that we can continue to support these emerging singers in their development.

We are looking for a small number of generous individuals to support these singers directly by becoming a Learning Benefactor (€500) or a Next Generation Champion (€1,500).

Your support will help cover all tuition, mentoring, travel and subsistence costs, as well as paid performance engagements.
