The Sean Shannon Music Foundation
In Ireland, classical music remains one of the most expensive hobbies, with high costs for lessons, instruments, and exams. This means talent often goes unheard, and dreams end before they even begin.
Join us to break down these financial barriers and make classical music accessible to all.
