Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland Tickets

The Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland (CBOI) brings together around 130–160 young musicians aged 12–24 from Ireland and Northern Ireland. Founded in 1995 by Sharon Treacy-Dunne as a cross-border peace initiative, the ensemble operates from the Dundalk Institute of Technology and blends traditional Irish and Ulster Scots instruments with full symphonic orchestration. Under the baton of conductor Greg Beardsell, CBOI has earned acclaim for its ambitious concerts and international appearances, including Carnegie Hall in New York and a White House performance for President Obama. The group also presents the annual Peace Proms, a nationwide arena-tour that invites tens of thousands of schoolchildren to perform alongside the orchestra.

With a mission rooted in peace and cultural exchange, CBOI delivers high-energy, family-friendly performances that fuse Celtic roots with orchestral depth. Their discography highlights include recording projects and concerts that showcase a unique blend of Irish and Ulster Scots musical traditions. The 2025 Peace Proms tour is expected to include venues across Ireland, with dates announced for Waterford, Dublin, Limerick, and Belfast.
