Whyte Recital Hall

Inspiring Futures Seat Campaign

Only  ̶ ̶4̶5̶  44 remaining opportunities to Sponsor a Seat with a Lifetime Dedication in RIAM’s Magnificent new Whyte Recital Hall.

Honour a family member, a teacher that inspired you, or a loved one with a passion for music, by sponsoring a seat in the Royal Irish Academy of Music's new state-of-the-art recital hall.

We delivered a transformed campus in 2023 that matches the unique history of teaching and learning at RIAM, a musical quest that is the privilege of our generation. The Irish Government and leading philanthropists have generously funded most of the campus redevelopment—an endorsement of our vision for music education in Ireland that we are so grateful to have received. We now offer you the opportunity to make your exceptional contribution.

The 300 seat Whyte Recital Hall is the 'jewel in the crown' of RIAM activities—the space where the very youngest RIAM students to the pre-professionals perform. This beautifully crafted hall is a genuine step-change from our current facility - made in oak, with comfortable fixed seating rising above a generous stage. Designed by Todd Architects, with award-winning acousticians Sound Space Vision (Menuhin Hall, Surrey; Storey's Field Centre, Cambridge; Koerner Hall, Toronto) and theatre lighting designer Paul Keogan, this is a professional standard solo and chamber music hall with exceptional acoustics. Its unique design, professional finish and atmosphere, supports performance at the highest level.

In return for a one-off gift of €1,250, we will recognise your contribution in the following ways:

  • Personalise a seat inscription memorialising yourself, your family, or a musician who inspired you
  • Offer you naming rights to last the lifetime of the hall

If you would like to make your mark on the new RIAM Recital Hall, follow the link below to our online payment form to make your contribution of €1,250. Make sure to select 'Inspiring Futures Seat Campaign' in the drop-down menu.
