Opportunities for Performance

CSM are affiliated with the Fingal Youth Orchestra), the Dublin Youth Orchesta and the Hibernian Orchestra . It is our mission that all our students studying an orchestral instrument work towards becoming a member of one of our affiliated orchestras.

Ensemble experience and being a member of an orchestra is a fantastic way to make new friends and develop as a musician.
