Join the Royal Irish Academy of Music in celebrating the very best of our next generation of artists. Performers at this evening’s benefit are studying on full scholarship at the RIAM and are part of our Masters’ Program. All proceeds raised from this benefit will support RIAM’s Young Artist Program.

The Royal Irish Academy of Music’s Young Artist Programme is an immersive programme that nurtures high potential pre-college talents aspiring to professional training.

The Young Artist Programme is designed for post-grade 8 Junior RIAM students aged approximately 15-18 years.  Places are allocated by audition and are limited to 25 students at any one time. The programme is for either one or two years based on the age of the student on commencement. RIAM Young Artists have access to:

•    Masterclass participation
