TU Dublin Ballymun Music Programme celebrates 30 years with special anniversary concert
The TU Dublin Ballymun Music Programme, supported by Dublin City Council and Creative Ireland, invites audiences to a special concert celebrating 30 years of music-making and its transformative impact on children and young people in Ballymun.
Established in 1996, the programme has provided free, high-quality music education to thousands of children and young people, creating opportunities to learn instruments, develop musical skills and experience the joy of making music together.
The anniversary concert will showcase performances by the talented young musicians currently taking part in the programme and celebrate the achievements of the thousands of participants who have been part of its journey over the past three decades.
The event will be formally opened by Dr Deirdre Lillis, President of TU Dublin, and Senator Mark Daly, Cathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann.
What began in one school has grown into a partnership spanning seven primary and secondary schools, currently providing 340 young people aged between five and 18 with weekly music lessons and ensemble opportunities.
The programme has provided pathways to further study and professional achievement, while helping generations of young people develop confidence, creativity, resilience and a lifelong appreciation of music.
Join us to celebrate this remarkable milestone and experience the talent and enthusiasm of the next generation of Ballymun musicians.
