Who Are We?

The National Children's Choir (NCC)/Cór Naisiúnta na nÓg is a unique choral experience for primary school children in Ireland. The aim of NCC is to foster a love of choral singing amongst the primary school children of our nation. The vision of the choir is to bring massed choral singing of the very highest quality to the reach of every primary school, regardless of size, pupil numbers or even facilities and to further the cause of music in primary schools.

​

How Does It Work?

Membership is open to pupils in 4th, 5th & 6th classes (P5, P6, P7 in Northern Ireland). The repertoire consisting of 15 songs is made available to schools for a fee upon affiliation. Teachers teach the repertoire in their school as part of the normal music programme. There will be a Summer Course for Teachers in July focused on teaching this year’s repertoire. Schools are arranged into regional groups and come together to rehearse with neighbouring schools twice during the year.

​​

Local concerts in which all children who have learned the repertoire participate will be held March–May. A representative group from each participating school performs in a concert at the National Concert Hall in May/June.​
