The Music Network/Centre Culturel Irlandais Music Performance Bursary was established to enable Irish musicians to further their performance careers during residencies at the centre in Paris, as well as being an important means of showcasing Ireland’s dynamic contemporary culture on an international stage.

The one-month residency offers the recipient the opportunity to tap into the many resources that both the CCI and Paris itself offer. The former recipients of the music residency in association with Music Network are Mairéad Hickey (2019/20), Aisling Kenny (2018-19), Sam Comerford (2017-18), Barry Donoghue (2016-17) and Rhob Cunningham (2015-16).
