We support musicians to develop sustainable careers. Our residencies provide artists with funding, space and time to create new work.

Following a campaign for equal access to music education for every child and young person in Ireland, we established Music Generation.

We offer a range of supports and training opportunities for professional performing musicians.

We develop new and original music performances specifically for children and family audiences to attend and share the magic and joy of live music.

We embrace innovation through research, exploration and experimentation to advocate for the value of live music in society
