Contemporary Music Centre

The Contemporary Music Centre is based in Dublin City, County Dublin, and is Ireland’s national archive and resource centre for new music by Irish composers.

It holds a collection of scores and recordings, and supports composers and performers as well as anyone researching or simply curious about contemporary Irish composition. For visitors with an interest in music beyond the traditional repertoire, it offers a window onto a less familiar side of Irish musical life. Check ahead for current opening arrangements and whether an appointment is needed to use the collection.
