Music Factory is the Irish Chamber Orchestra’s annual summer camp for children aged 8 – 12, supported by the Bank of America Foundation. This 6 day camp provides children from Limerickcity and surrounding areas with workshops in a range of arts activities including musical improvisation, singing, song writing, dance, drumming, drama and visual art. Throughout the week, children and professional artists work together in the new Irish World Academy of Music and Dance to produce new performance pieces. The camp culminated in a free Family Fun Day in Daghdha Dance Space, LimerickCity. Music Factory not only provides children with the opportunity to meet with and learn from professional musicians and artists; it also brings children together from a range of backgrounds to share their common interests in creativity and performance. Plans are already underway for Music Factory 2012. If you would like to reserve a place please contact Kathleen Turner at 061 236 632 or kathleen.turner@ul.ie.
