Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way is 1600 miles (2600 km) in length and is one of the longest defined coastal routes in the world. It winds its way all along the Irish west coast from the Inishowen Peninsula in the north down to the picturesque town of Kinsale, County Cork, in the south. Come and join us in the Capital of the Wild Atlantic Way in Galway City for a World Peace-themed, non-competitive choral festival over 7 days. Explore all that Ireland has to offer and meet choral singers from around the world, work with internationally acclaimed conductors and experience large-scale performances in iconic Irish venues.
The WACF is led by Claddagh Choral, the west of Ireland’s leading choral program, and travel arrangements are managed by the US tour company FireBird Fine Art Tours who have a 40 year history of leading choirs through Europe.
Bring back the souvenir of a lifetime. Each singer will take part in a music video recorded in the stunning Wild Atlantic Way. A new piece of music will be commissioned and rehearsed during the festival led by some of our guest clinicians.
ANNOUNCEMENT INCOMING...TWACF is proud to present 3 world class clinicians & a composer in residence from various places around the world. Keep your eyes peeled for updates, or register your interest by sending us an email.
