We're incredibly lucky, and deeply grateful, to have the community of funders, sponsors, businesses, Friends and Patrons named on this page. Your support, whether through core funding, a corporate partnership, or a lifetime of Friendship, helps us bring world-class music to audiences across Ireland and give children and young people in Limerick free weekly music lessons.
Thank you.

"Irish Chamber Orchestra is very Irish in its way - such energy and such joy in the music-making. And then to have the parallel education programme is such a wonderful thing. I am really invested in that."

The Friends circle has nourished my love of music, has offered me new acquaintances and constantly opens my eyes and ears to new experiences. Music relaxes the soul and we all need that escape.
