County Wexford Children's Choir Singfest

About the Project

The County Wexford Children's Choir project (CWCC) was formed in 1997 and is aimed at developing the growth of choral music throughout County Wexford. From 1997 - 2002, CWCC facilitated both primary school and community choral programmes and worked with approximately 4,000 young people in over 35 schools throughout the county. Since 2003, the CWCC project has been redeveloped into an annual primary schools singfest.
