Irish Youth Wind Ensemble
Irish Association of Youth Orchestras
Over sixty of Ireland’s finest young wind, brass and percussion players have been selected to play in this year’s Irish Youth Wind Ensemble – a week-long music course where young musicians can hone their talents under the guidance of professional conductors and musicians culminating in a highly-charged performance in the O'Reilly Theatre, Belvedere.
The musicians will be led by the talented conductor Ronan O’Reilly, who is the Director of the Artane School of Music, and guest conductor Dr Ken Dye, Director of Bands at the prestigious University of Notre Dame. The highly accomplished young musicians of the ensemble come from across Ireland and will work intensively in a week-long residential course in the University of Limerick with some of Ireland’s top brass, wind and percussion tutors.
