Karen Ní Bhroin

Karen is a Music Education graduate of TCD in collaboration with DIT. (2009-2013). Outside of Orwell Healthcare, Karen conducts various different ensembles in the Dublin area and has extensive experience in performing and performances. This opportunity to perform at Orwell would benefit the student performer on many different levels. The audience at Orwell are long- and short-term residents, respite care clients, convalescence clients, residents requiring dementia care and service users with acquired brain injury. Many of our residents attended concerts, operas, musicals and other events on a regular basis. Bringing music to them now when they cannot access it through other means is a thoroughly rewarding experience.
