About this event

Join us for a special evening of music marking more than 30 years of the Music Instrument Fund of Ireland (MIFI), the charity that has given Ireland's most talented string players access to exceptional instruments.

The concert celebrates the vision of the late Professor Ronald Masin, whose belief in the potential of young Irish musicians led him to found MIFI in 1995. Since then, MIFI has placed 16 fine instruments with 112 young musicians, creating a transformational legacy for string players in Ireland.

This is an opportunity to hear the Musical Instrument Fund of Ireland's recipients past and present perform alongside distinguished guest musicians in the gorgeous acoustic of RIAM’s Whyte Recital Hall.
