UCC School of Music bequeathed €2m by British master builder

€2m gift coincides with the unveiling of UCC's sound studio

Singer-songwriter and UCC alumnus Jack O'Rourke in the Pauline Oliveros Sound Studio.

A whole new cohort of musicians are to benefit from a €2m gift donated to University College Cork’s music department — the largest donation in 113 years.

The huge sum was donated by the late Sydney V Regan, a British master builder who came to Cork in the 1960s with his wife Hilda.
