Music for Schools 2011 31 May - 17 Jun 2011
The Ark's Music for Schools summer workshops have been co-programmed by Irish composer Elaine Agnew and music specialist Margaret O’Sullivan, and will be presented by highly qualified workshop facilitators, all of whom are well-known performers in their own right.
Children from junior infants to 6th class will be introduced to the excitement of live performance, and will experience a wide range of musical styles through interactive music-making activities for the entire class.
