Ciara Considine

From an early age Ciara Considine was humming and harmonizing along with her older sister and brothers.

She was the youngest of four children of Irish parents from Counties Clare and Galway - they'd met in London as fresh immigrants in the 1950s. Theirs was a musical family, with a whole range of instruments filling the family home in Maidstone, Kent, UK.

She gained a County Scholarship to study the flute and piano and toured Brazil and Argentina with the Kent Youth Orchestra. She was selected to join the National Youth Choir of Great Britain, touring the US, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia and Singapore - all by the age of 18.

She then went to Manchester to train as a classical concert-pianist at the Royal Northern College of Music. After getting her Bachelors Degree in Music, she went on to gain both a Masters Degree and a Postgraduate Diploma in Music. Meanwhile she spent 12 yrs teaching the piano, flute and singing in Manchester, inspiring many children in that time.

We hope you enjoy her music as much as we do here at Tour Clare.
