Our Social Impact
We're more than just an orchestra. We are also a charity.
Every year, we not only bring spectacular performances to audiences of every stripe - we also provide free music education to children and young people in our community.
Over the years, we have achieved incredible results, and witnessed first hand the life-changing power of music. And each year, we continue to grow our work with the help of our generous supporters.
[ICO Schools] provides emotional, social, academic and musical support to all our children but most of all it provides fun. The Irish Chamber Orchestra has brought so much joy to our school and has helped improve the children’s confidence
