Music Network is Ireland’s national music touring and development organisation, and was founded by the Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon in 1986.

We make high quality live music accessible to communities throughout Ireland and help musicians to develop fulfilling careers.



Our vision is that of a culture which increasingly values live music in our everyday lives, embracing it as an essential part of a healthy, vibrant society.



Everything we do stems from this vision: from our work in music education, to supporting musicians at varying stages of their development, to providing opportunities for performance and participation through our valued network of partners.



Our work enriches many aspects of music-making across Ireland, bringing musicians and listeners together through the magic of live performance.
