​CHOIR COMPETITION CONSULTATION

Published: 01 Mar 2024

As many of you will be aware, a consultation on the structure of the Royal National Mòd choir competitions is now underway.

This is an opportunity for choir conductors, members and Gaelic readers to share their views on ways in which this much-loved event can be positively developed for all.

The consultation is an open process which is taking place in direct collaboration with Gaelic choirs.

This is the first time in 100 years practical steps forward have been taken to review the structure of these competitions. With this comes a great opportunity to ensure the format is reflective of our Gaelic community and more inclusive, whilst still upholding the tradition, advancing Gaelic competence and ensuring the competitions’ longevity for future generations.

A number of areas are being potentially reviewed as part of the consultation process, including the inclusion of new material and a more progressive learning framework for choir members. Following a thorough analysis of the information and views provided, a decision will be taken whether to implement certain changes, carry out an ongoing review or reject any updates and maintain the status quo. No changes will be made until 2025 at the earliest.

We are grateful to everyone taking part in this consultation process and recognise how beloved these competitions are to the entire Mòd community. We look forward to seeing our choral events and the Gaelic language continue to thrive and be celebrated.
