Throughout the 2013–2014 academic year, Ceol Oirghialla is celebrating ten years
of success, creativity and excellence. Ceol Oirghialla has a dynamic and vibrant
approach to the study of music and offers exciting and innovative programmes
to both undergraduates and postgraduates in a proactive centre of teaching
and learning, research and performance. We aim to provide a distinctive and
pioneering environment for advanced study, performance and research while
recognising and engaging with the diversity of musics and technologies. We seek
to foster an ethos of creativity, collaboration, advanced teaching and learning, and
offer students a range of opportunities to reach their full potential.
Our imaginative programmes have facilitated students to progress to a diverse
range of careers including teaching, composition, performance, music technology,
arts administration and business management with many students undertaking
further postgraduate study both at DkIT and internationally. We are proud of the
success of our graduates and we continue to maintain links with them. We are
delighted that many of them have contributed to our performances over the past
year as part of our ten-year anniversary celebrations.
We pride ourselves in the sense of community which we foster through both
formal and informal teaching and learning activities. Performance is an integral
part of our programmes and students are given the opportunity to take part in
various music ensembles, including the DkIT Choir and Oriel Consort who are
performing tonight. Vocal Studies form an integral part of our students’ academic
programme with many opportunities for students to develop vocal technique and
repertoire. The Choir forms the principal musical element of our hugely popular
Christmas concert and they regularly perform an annual Spring Choral concert
focusing on sacred repertoire. Recent concerts by the Choir and Consort have
taken place at a range of venues including Redemptorist Church, Dundalk, Church
of the Holy Redeemer, Dundalk, the Cathedral of Saint Patrick and Saint Colman,
Newry, Ulster Hall and Birr Castle.
Works performed by the choir in recent years include Britten’s A Ceremony
of Carols, Mozart’s Missa Brevis in D, Handel’s Messiah, Haydn’s Creation,
Charpentier’s Te Deum and Carissimi’s Jephte. In 2010 the choir performed
a special joint concert in the Ulster Hall, Belfast with the South Ulster Youth
Orchestra featuring specially commissioned piece Gullion Tales by composer Brian
Irvine.
Over the ten years, students in Ceol Oirghialla have been successful in winning
prizes in national and international competitions for performance, composition
and research, while many of our performers have been honoured by invitations
to perform for distinguished guests at notable venues in Ireland and abroad.
We are dedicated to growing our international education network and some of
our students and staff have recently returned from participating in an Erasmus
Intensive Programme at Artesis Plantijn University in Antwerp where they were
joined by staff and students from Stord Haugesund University, Norway. We were
delighted to host performing groups from Molloy College. New York and Baker
University, Kansas recently for a series of concerts celebrating music from Ireland
and America, and members of our traditional ensemble have received invitations
to conduct a series of workshops and performances in America later this spring
including the American Irish Historical Society on 5th Avenue, New York.
Ceol Oirghialla has developed a strong community outreach programme enriching
the cultural life of the Institute and the wider region and we are acutely aware of
the rich cultural and historical landscape of Oriel, within which DkIT is situated,
a region which has always been a centre of music and literary activity. Our
performance and research activities reflect Ceol Oirghialla’s ongoing commitment
to the preservation and promotion of this cultural region.
We have a large and vibrant community of research students enrolled on our
postgraduate programmes, and these courses are enhanced by the research
expertise of our staff. Our research activities cover a comprehensive range of
areas and will ensure that our research activities will continue to gain national and
international recognition while also underpinning our teaching at undergraduate
and postgraduate level.
Ceol Oirghialla has firmly established itself on the cultural map of third and
fourth-level education in Ireland and we aim to continue to be a leading provider
of music education in Ireland. We thank you all for your continued support of our
activities over the past ten years and we look forward to the future development
of music at DkIT.
