The PLAYground Orchestra Project made a comeback
Fifthly, our PLAYGROUND orchestra project was back this year! This project is a hugely successful music project for primary schools. The PLAYground Orchestra programme has been a huge hit across Dublin 15. Further, this project stresses the importance of primary school music, and exposure to classical musical for children. This programme saw us bring a 29 piece orchestra plus a singer and a conductor to twelve schools in Dublin 15. In addition, this project was run in association with our projects partners, Draíocht. Delivering two live performances a day across eight schools in Dublin 15, and three extra performances in the Draíocht, we were delighted to be back with the Orchestra!
