Kids Classics CLG - Expert Impact

Grainne Hope,

Kids Classics CLG

Met with John Frieda

Our vision is for an Ireland where everyone’s life is enriched by high-quality live music, delivered with their needs in mind, whatever their situation.

We work to remove barriers to accessing high quality and collaborative music and artistic work, by connecting with people, their families and healthcare providers where they are – for example hospitals, schools and nursing homes – and support professional musicians and artists across genres to safely and equitably co-design and deliver in all settings.

Thank you John for giving your time and sharing your experience and expertise. Your thought-provoking questions helped us look at different ideas and possible pathways to support the growth of our work. We look forward to sharing our journey with you in the near future.
