This is the second Irish Chamber Orchestra Academy at the University of Limerick performing Summer from Vivaldi's 4 Seasons, Elgar Serenade for strings and Bachanias Brasileiras No.9 by Villa-Lobos. The ICO takes its commitment to nurturing talented young musicians a step further with this innovative ‘academy’ that brings together students from UL, RIAM, TUDublin, RSC, RNCM and other conservatoires around the world. Every Spring and Autumn, gifted music students from leading international conservatoires come together for a unique residency at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, University of Limerick. Directed by Diane Daly, Course Director of the University of Limerick’s groundbreaking MA Classical String Performance, and by members of the internationally renowned Irish Chamber Orchestra, students embark on an innovative chamber music project designed to help them develop self-awareness as musicians. Working on Dalcrozian rehearsal techniques, students experiment with creative forms of music-making, focusing on communication and on bringing the music to life, before delivering a public performance.
