The Sean Shannon Music Foundation

In Ireland, classical music remains out of reach for many, with high costs for lessons, instruments, and exams. This means talent often goes unheard, and dreams end before they even begin.

Join us to break down these financial barriers and make classical music accessible to all.

The Sean Shannon Music Foundation, established in 2025 in memory of Sean Shannon, is dedicated to supporting young musicians facing socioeconomic challenges.
