Masterclasses with choral directors such as Lucy Champion (Education Co-Ordinator for ANÚNA), workshops and performances from groups such as Ardú and choristers from all over Ireland is an added enjoyment of the festival, as is exploring the amazing locality and sites of Galway City.  

Voices by The Sea also schedules the selected choirs to perform in a range of festival activities throughout the weekend, including its Big Sing, guest performances, and at its closing concert. A meet and greet session and festival club allow participants to get to know each other and to meet informally in a convivial social setting. Each day of this choral festival is filled with many music opportunities. Voices by The Sea is also accessible to non-choir members who would like to experience the feeling of being in a choir community and partake in a new Galway festival.
