The Irish Institute of Music & Song Children’s Chorus is directed by the award-winning conductor, Rebecca Gilbert. The choir is a fun and friendly introduction to choral singing and musicianship for kids aged 7 to 12. No experience is necessary. Rehearsals involve singing, musical games and musicianship lessons.

We run the choir in two locations - The IIMS Campus in Balbriggan, and St Sylvester’s Parish Centre in Malahide. The two groups come together for concerts, special events and fun days.

Thanks to the generous support of the IIMS Foundation and Our Balbriggan, we are able to keep the costs per rehearsal low to encourage as many young singers as possible to join in the fun.

Full Term of 8 rehearsals/events up to the Summer break €72 (€9 per rehearsal)
