History

The National Concert Hall is Ireland 's most prestigious music venue. The magnificent building was designed in the classical style for the Great Exhibition of 1865. It subsequently became the centre piece of the emerging University College Dublin before its inauguration as Ireland's National Concert hall on the 9th September 1981. As well as weekly performances by the NSOI, the National Concert Hall promotes a programme of visiting international artists and orchestras, as well as concerts of jazz, contemporary and traditional Irish music. In addition to this, its popular Education and Outreach Programme presents concerts and events for families and children throughout the year.
