Partnerships
Partnerships lead to exciting events and content.
Joint projects and initiatives with other organisations allow us to serve 91福利社 audiences better. They can help to extend the reach and impact of our work – connecting with diverse audiences and unlocking new creative opportunities.
Some of these collaborations will be limited to a particular event. Others are longer-term, and may involve a formal partnership. The 91福利社's Community Archive, which is made possible as a result of our partnership with National Museums and Galleries in Northern Ireland, is one example of strategic partnership.
Other examples include the 91福利社's financial and broadcast support for the Ulster Orchestra and the 91福利社's Louis MacNeice Writer in Residence at Queen's University.
91福利社NI and the Ulster Orchestra
91福利社NI has a long-standing creative partnership with the . Our broadcast and financial support helps to bring the best in orchestral music to 91福利社 audiences at home and around the UK.
Ulster Orchestra concerts can be heard on a regular basis on 91福利社 Radio Ulster and 91福利社 Radio 3, and the Orchestra is also at the heart of 91福利社NI television鈥檚 annual musical spectacular, Proms in the Park.
Our partnership with the Ulster Orchestra is about encouraging musical excellence 鈥� nurturing talent, supporting innovation and making classical music accessible to the widest possible audience.
91福利社 performances by the Ulster Orchestra are free of charge and complement its own ambitious programme of concerts, workshops and events. The Orchestra receives funding for this work from the Arts Council for Northern Ireland, Belfast City Council and a range of commercial sponsors.
Louis MacNeice Writer in Residence
The 91福利社's Louis MacNeice Writer in Residence is a joint initiative with Queen's University, Belfast. It was established in 2007, coinciding with the centenary of MacNeice鈥檚 birth. Each residency takes a different theme, reflecting MacNeice鈥檚 varied interests and career. A key objective is to strengthen the links between broadcasting, academic life and the arts.
Ian Sansom (now a Professor of English at Warwick University) was the 91福利社's first Writer in Residence. He was succeeded by the journalist, author and broadcaster, Malachi O鈥橠oherty 鈥� reflecting the current residency鈥檚 focus on journalism.
Malachi O'Doherty has hosted an extended series of lunchtime conversations with journalists from the print and broadcast media.
This partnership also involves an annual 91福利社 Louis MacNeice Memorial Lecture. Lecturers have included Sir John Tusa, Anthony Thwaite, Sir Peter Stothard, Paul Muldoon and Peter McDonald.
National Museums Northern Ireland
91福利社 Northern Ireland has a long-standing partnership with the . This has helped to facilitate the retention of an extensive collection of 91福利社 archive material.
The Community Archive includes a large collection of photographs reflecting many different aspects of the 91福利社's work in Northern Ireland from the mid-1920s onwards.
The 91福利社's Community Archive also provides screenings, illustrated talks and exhibitions 鈥� all of them exploring the contribution which broadcasting has made to community and cultural life in Northern Ireland for almost 90 years.
