St Columba's Drimnin Trust Limited

About

The charity’s principal activity is the provision of opportunities for young musical ensembles to practice together, receive expert coaching, provide concerts for the local community, and undertake educational activities for schoolchildren. The most significant of these activities is the annual Drimnin String Quartet Academy, in which three promising young string quartets, on the cusp of international careers, come to Drimnin for two separate weeks, receiving coaching from the artistic director and giving three concerts at the end of each week, centred on the restored Drimnin chapel, while also undertaking wider outreach activities. Other activities include the provision of stand-alone concerts, work to protect the local environment, including the ruin of the ancient Drimnin mill, and projects to promote the well-being of the community.
