To be completed by members over 18yrs or the parent / carer of members under 18yrs. 


The Count Us In Programme 2021-2022will involve group face-to-face lessons held at Coláiste Chu Chulainn, Dundalk. Lessons will commence on Sunday 12th September and run on Sundays parallel to CBOI rehearsals. Lessons are currently scheduled to move to Wednesdays from February 2022 to facilitate members who ordinarily are performing in concert with the CBOI. (Please see schedule). We currently have no clarity as to whether concert will be allowed in the new year. If no concerts are allowed, lessons may remain on Sundays. The schedule will be reviewed in the new year and confirmed / changed as necessary.Instruments and music tuition is provided free of charge to all participants in this programme. The purpose of the CUI programme is to deliver exceptional music tuition to young people who may not otherwise have the opportunity, and to act as an essential feeder programme for the CBOI is order to ensure its sustainability. Is it critical therefore that only those who are already members of the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland or those who have a genuine wish and ambition to become a contributing member of the CBOI in the future should participate in this programme. 


We are opening the programme up to new members. In order to confirm how many new places are available, we need all current CUI Members to confirm their participation in CUI for the coming year. Please complete the following webform.
