BECOME A FRIEND

Secure the future of Music in Great Irish Houses and ensure your own seat for your favourite concert.

For 40 years, our “Friends” have been the life-blood of the Festival through their annual subscriptions and, proportionately being the largest ticket purchasers, attending several concerts each season. We are grateful for that support and for the affection and good will expressed over the years.

The Festival’s endurance stems from its core principal to provide music of the highest caliber to its “Friends” and audiences. As we mark the significant milestone of our 40th Anniversary this year, we ask you to further recognize the Festival’s determination of showcasing highly acclaimed international and national artists, all carefully selected to bring the best chamber music musicians to Ireland.

Like many other Arts organisations, the chill of current economic winds gives cause for concern and, while we are fortunate that our title sponsor KBC is once again, firmly behind us, the fall-off of other commercial sponsors and official grant providers sees us facing a possible shortfall. No doubt you are in receipt of daily requests from other worthy cultural events, but we appeal to your traditional generosity to kindly to consider the Festival a priority as we celebrate its fortieth birthday.

By renewing a subscription or becoming a new “Friend” you can enjoy “the music of friends” with friends who share a love of fine music in some of Ireland’s stately houses, exactly the sort of setting for which chamber music was originally written. Importantly, you will personally help the festival confront these challenging times and encourage it to grow stronger and develop in the years to come.

We thank you in advance for your support.

The KBC Music in Great Irish Houses is a non- profit making organisation and since its inception in 1970

  • FRIENDS help bring some of the world’s finest musicians to Ireland.

buildings.
