Delivering long-term value to Ireland

The restoration and redevelopment of our National Concert Hall will bring many benefits, but most importantly will ensure we collectively nurture our world-class musical heritage by providing public and performance spaces for leading Irish and international musicians as well as the next generation of artists.

We will double our output to over 2,000 separate events annually, with significant focus on engaging and accessible activities for families and individuals of all ages. Enhanced facilities will benefit all who perform including our National Symphony Orchestra and resident choirs. We will double our economic contribution to the local area while creating a major new attraction for domestic and overseas tourists and audiences.  And most significantly, this investment will preserve one of Ireland’s most historic buildings and ensure a world-class visitor experience that will build an iconic brand for music across the world. 
 
Music is one of the world’s most important art forms. It reinforces Ireland’s global reputation for creative excellence. It is a legacy we entrust to emerging talents who have the future of music in their hands. The NCH is committed to ensuring music can be an integral part of Irish life for performers, audiences and communities for generations to come.  
 
The delivery of these plans will create a world-renowned music campus for our nation, paying homage to our proud heritage of the past, while ensuring a richer future for generations to come. We very much look forward to the vision of the redevelopment becoming a reality for everyone to enjoy.
