History of the Dublin International Piano Competition
|
|
|
|
The Dublin International Piano Competition was established in 1988. A triennial
event, it was sponsored for the first three competitions by GPA. In 1994, the
sponsorship was taken over by Guardian Insurance and when AXA acquired the
company in 1999 they also took over title sponsorship which they sustained for
10 years. The Dublin International Piano Competition is now supported by a
private benefactor. |
|
|
|
Since its formation the Dublin Competition’s reputation has grown in stature,
and now ranks among the most important piano competitions in the world. It
offers a generous prize fund, but perhaps the most important prize is the
prestigious list of engagements secured for the winner. These include début
concerts in London, New York, Paris and of course Ireland. Previous winners have
launched highly successful international careers from this springboard. Chaired
by John O’Conor, who is also the Artistic Director, and adjudicated by
distinguished members of the music profession from around the world, the
Competition attracts an enormous international entry. |
