TU Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra
TU Dublin Conservatoire are proud to introduce a ground breaking venture that promotes diversity, accessibility, and community engagement with TU Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra.
Our new Philharmonic Orchestra is evidence to the enduring power of music in people's lives. We are a home for young musicians, whether they are pursuing formal music education at university or have chosen different pathways, yet still desire to keep their passion for music alive within them.
TU Dublin Conservatoire believes in breaking barriers and making music accessible to all. Our concerts are open to the public, inviting everyone to experience the magic of orchestral music. We take pride in being the beacon of musical diversity, drawing from a pool of musicians currently residing in Ireland. We are committed to fostering a strong bond with our community by pushing the boundaries and promoting open rehearsals, inviting local residents to witness the intricate process of creating symphonic masterpieces. We hope that by opening our doors, we will open minds and hearts to the transformative power of music.
Our orchestra is a place for young professionals that are balancing full-time jobs with their passion for music. Through music, we aim to enrich the cultural tapestry of our city and beyond, leaving a mark on the community. Our rehearsal weekends will be a time to come together, to create, and to inspire each other.
Join us, as we embark on this extraordinary musical voyage of discovery, where every note resonates with the pursuit of excellence.
