A fantastic selection of works from the 2018/2019 Composers in the Classroom programme was presented in a gala concert in The Studio of the National Concert Hall on 1 March 2019 as part of the New Music Dublin festival in partnership with the Contemporary Music Centre. Directed by Elizabeth Hilliard, the concert was a culmination of 4 months of workshops in schools delivered by some of our highly regarded Irish composers. An RTÉ Culture File feature on the concert can be heard on our Composer in the Classroom page and a selection of photos from the concert can be accessed in our Galleries.
