"The acoustic clarity in this room is unmatched anywhere else in Dublin. A true sanctuary for music."

- Dominique A.

Lyra's Folio has become the heart of the literary scene here. Every event is managed with such sophistication and respect for the arts that you can't help but feel inspired. It's quite literally our second home.

Saoirse Mccorry Dublin Arts Council

Why did we choose Lyra's Folio for our launch?

Because no other venue offers this combination of history, intimacy, and professional dedication to the craft of music preservation.
