Our Values

Our vision is to be a world-class centre for music and a symbol of national pride for Ireland. The ambition of our programme is to engage, surprise and inspire, as well as entertain. Above all, we aspire to share the magic and wonder of live performance and to be enriched by the cultures and ideas we value.

We are more than a venue. We are an international centre for musical performance and a leading voice in Ireland for the development of music and its appreciation. We are focused on scope rather than genre, nation rather than capital – proudly Irish and proudly of Ireland.

We are a body made up of people and ideas - individuals who share a belief in what the National Concert Hall is and what it can be.
