Having set up the Loreto Harp Orchestra two years ago, Loreto College wanted to offer the opportunity to play to all pupils – not just those who have their own instrument and a parent to transport it to/from school. As a result, they applied for financial support to purchase an Irish harp that will remain in school for all pupils to use. The Committee readily agreed an Irish Society grant of £1,960 to cover the cost of a Turmennan student harp and case as quoted in the application.
