Festival Of Music: Full Concert Now Online!

Every spring, the Dublin & Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board (DDLETB) treats Dublin audiences to a magical concert featuring the musical talents of its learners. The 2025 edition took place in the prestigious National Concert Hall on Tuesday 4th March 2025, marking the 24th year of this inspiring festival.

It’s more than just a concert – it’s an evening where community colleges and Gaelcholáistí students stand centre stage. Soloists, choirs, bands and ensembles bring together pop, rock, traditional and classical styles in one uplifting programme. The performance was described as “a resounding success” and “an incredible night of talent, energy, and passion”.

What makes the Festival of Music special is seeing the pride and effort of these young performers shine. It’s a chance for learners to showcase hours of dedication, for teachers to celebrate their students’ hard work, and for the community to enjoy a night filled with memorable performances.

A full recording of this year’s concert is already online, giving everyone a front-row seat to the occasion. Whether you missed the live show or want to relive the highlights, you can enjoy the full concert here on YouTube.

This lively celebration is a wonderful showcase of DDLETB’s ethos – nurturing student talent and bringing communities together through music.
