Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland (CBOI) is a youth orchestra in Ireland. Based at the Dundalk Institute of Technology in County Louth, the CBOI maintains a membership of 160 young musicians between the ages of 12 and 24 years from both sides of the border.[1]
The CBOI was established in 1995, shortly after the implementation of the Northern Ireland peace process,[2] and its website describes it as "one of Ireland's flagship peace initiatives".[1]
