Support To The Tune Of €60,000 For National Concert Hall
The Community Foundation for Ireland have committed a spend of €60,000 in support of the National Concert Hall’s three year music programme.
Entitled ‘Kid’s Classics’, the programme will run in three Children’s Hospitals in Dublin.
The programme, which began in January 2011, sees three National Concert Hall musicians providing interactive music workshops on a monthly basis in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, Children’s University Hospital, Temple Street, and The National Children’s Hospital in Tallaght.
Tina Roche, Chief Executive of The Community Foundation for Ireland said: “We at The Community Foundation are delighted to be able to commit to funding ‘Kids Classics’ for the next three years. This grant is being made on behalf of one of our anonymous family funds. This Dublin family had direct experience of spending a lot of time in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin and they wanted to put something back, providing positive experiences for sick children. Having seen recently ‘Kids Classics’ in action all of us at The Community Foundation are very excited to be part of it.”
The musicians Grainne Hope (cello), Joe Csibi (double-bass) and Julie Mazel (flute) will undertake the music workshops in wards and tuition rooms in the three hospitals for the duration of the programme.
The overall purpose of the project is to bring the joy and fun of music, with its many advantages for emotional and physical wellbeing, to children who are most in need of this positive interaction.
