An Cór (The Choir) – an Irish language singing competition with a difference

Closing Date is Friday 11 September

What happens when you cast the six best or most suitable choirs in the country and then have these largely English-speaking singers learn, rehearse and perform the most popular Gaelic songs ever sung by Irish school children even to this day? The result is the bi-lingual TV series An Cór (The Choir) – an Irish language singing competition with a difference broadcast over 4 shows during Seachtain na Gaeilge March 2010 on RTÉ One.

To download an application form please log onto www.rte.ie/tv/wanted and remember the closing date is Friday September 11th. Note the application process is merely an expression of interest and not an indication to the choir that they will be asked to take part in any stage of the TV programme.

The application form is available from the RTE website (www.rte.ie) and the sideline website (www.sideline.ie).
