City Academy Singers

City Academy Singers

The City Academy Singers is a vibrant mixed-voice choir located in the heart of the City. Led by dynamic musical director Eamonn O’Dwyer, the Singers meet once a week to sing an eclectic mix of rock and pop hits (lots from the 80s and 90s!), beautiful folk songs and stunning contemporary choral works.

AUDITIONS FOR THE SINGERS CHOIR ARE NOW OPEN! PLEASE NOTE: SINGERS ARE ONLY ACCEPTING TENORS AND BASSES AT THE MOMENT. TO FIND YOUR VOICE TYPE, VISIT OUR GUIDE HERE. DO NOT BOOK A TASTER IF YOU ARE NOT A TENOR OR BASS SINGER.

If you’re interested in joining the Singers, please sign up for a taster session. You will come along to a regular Monday night rehearsal with the whole group, and then stay for a short and very informal audition with Eamonn at the end of the evening, just to assess your level of ability. 

The choir isn’t suitable for absolute beginners; some singing or choral experience is necessary, plus a strong ear for harmony too! 

Following the taster, our team will inform you via email if you have been accepted.
