Music for Peace - NCH Dublin

In celebration of their 30th anniversary, the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland (CBOI) will present Music for Peace, a major humanitarian fundraising concert at the National Concert Hall, Dublin, on Sunday 6th September 2026 at 3.00pm.

Presented in support of UNICEF and Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), the concert aims to raise vital funds to provide urgently needed humanitarian assistance, including food, medical supplies and essential support services for children affected by conflict and humanitarian crises.

In an extraordinary commitment to the cause, 100% of all box office income will be donated directly to humanitarian relief efforts. In addition, all funds raised through ticket sales and public donations will be matched by the concert’s principal supporting sponsor, doubling the impact of every contribution.
