Make a donation

Donate to West Cork Music to help ensure classical and traditional music and literature continue to be celebrated and showcased here at the edge of Europe.

West Cork Music operates as a registered charity, and a non-profit organisation, and ticket sales provide only 36% of West Cork Music’s direct income.

Help us bridge the gap, so we can:

  • Continue to stage world-class festivals for appreciative international and local audiences.
  • Build out a year-round arts events programme in West Cork, bringing the best of the arts to rural Ireland.
  • Nurture emerging musical and literary talent through our masterclasses and workshops.

Any donation above €250 allows a tax rebate worth an invaluable 31% to West Cork Music.
