U2 & The American Ireland Fund
Partner To Support Music Education

The American Ireland Fund is pleased to welcome Bono as the special guest at the 35th Anniversary Dinner Gala at the Tent at Lincoln Center.

The Ireland Funds and U2 have joined forces to bring musical training to Ireland’s children.
This is a $10 million project to which U2 have committed $7 million. • more >

Although music is offered as a core subject in Irish schools, the opportunities for children to learn to play a musical instrument are very limited, and the availability of instrumental tuition is among the poorest in the developed world. This project, which has the endorsement of the Irish Government,

will set out to change this, by making affordable music lessons available in urban and rural centers across the entire country. At the Gala, you will be joining them and the Fund in backing this remarkable initiative and giving children across Ireland a chance to learn, love and benefit from music-making.
