Founded in 1981, the Dublin-based Hibernian Orchestra is widely recognised as the leading voluntary orchestra in Ireland.
The players come from a variety of backgrounds. As well as music teachers and students, the orchestra includes many pre-professionals, musicians pursuing other careers and, increasingly, players who were trained across the world and who now reside and work in Ireland.
What unites the members of the ensemble is their love of music and their commitment to the highest possible performance standards.
The Orchestra has a demanding schedule based on weekly rehearsals between September and May/June. The Orchestra performs in Dublin and elsewhere throughout Ireland. Its repertoire stretches across the musical spectrum, ranging from early works to newly commissioned pieces.
The list of artists who have performed with The Hibernian Orchestra is impressive, and features many of Ireland’s most distinguished virtuosi. Former soloists include Finghin Collins, Philip Martin, Michael McHale, Martin Johnson, Michael d’Arcy, Cara O’Sullivan, Helena Wood, Mia Cooper, Christopher and Anthony Marwood, Claudia Boyle and Patrick Rafter. The Orchestra is also committed to providing a platform for young soloists through its annual Concerto Competition.
