UL musicians to add string to their bow with new two-year classical degree

The Irish Chamber Orchestra and the Irish World Academy have joined forces to create a new two-year full-time course at the University of Limerick in classical strings performance.

Called ACADEMOS, the full-time two-year Masters in Classical String Performance will give students of classical string performance the opportunity to study, train and perform with some of the world’s best musicians, composers, and conductors with classes taught by Irish Chamber Orchestra leaders.

UL president Don Barry said: “Students of ACADEMOS will benefit from the best of both worlds — recognised, accredited study and access to some of the best musicians in Europe and internationally.”
