The purpose is to develop not only musical skills, but key life skills using music as a tool for tangible social change. It was established in 2008 by the Irish Chamber Orchestra as a Community Engagement Programme. The choir involves two local schools Le Cheile National School and St Mary’s National School. This initiative has attracted a lot of attention locally and nationally due to the success it has achieved.  It tackles issues such as inclusion, equality of access and provision, it also highlights the benefits a long term project has on children. The project has also helped unite communities and build local pride in the area.
