Outreach
NCM is dedicated to making music accessible to all regardless of location or ability to pay.
We understand that many people won’t have access to our main series and have devised a range of concerts in the community so that everyone has an opportunity to hear live professional music making on their doorstep delivered to the highest professional standards.
In the immediate aftermath of Covid we noticed a very tentative return to the concert hall for musicians and audience alike. We realised that steps needed to be taken to ensure that people felt comfortable and safe attending our events. Out of this was born our coffee concert series which has seen our musicians perform in scores of care homes, local schools, community centres, hospitals and coffee houses during 2022-23 and in villages and towns throughout Newry Mourne and Down and South Armagh.
We have many new initiatives and opportunities for community involvement for our 24-25 season including an open night piano evening and an adult chamber music course details of which will be published here along with our coffee concert dates.
It is a huge privilege for us to be able to offer live music events in our community. Our hope is that we can continue to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to get involved and experience the joy of live music together.
