IRMA Trust Education Bursary 2000

The IRMA (Irish Recorded Music Association) Trust Music Education Bursary recipient in 2000 was Lara Norris, a music student from Mallow, Cork. Lara received a bursary to attend a Music Management and Performance Degree at Berklee College, Boston. It is a four-year degree in a variety of disciplines including Music Management, Marketing, and Performance. No similar course is available in Ireland.

"Thank you to IRMA Trust for enabling me to experience such an outstanding opportunity. Berklee is a fabulous learning environment and the course itself is both musically and academically challenging . . . I'm in my element."
