Great night at the Whyte Recital Hall

Posted byJohn McCormack SocietyPosted inNews

What a wonderful evening in the Whyte Recital Hall at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. The future of Irish classical singing looks very bright. Thank you to Niall Kinsella, Eva Kavanagh, Emma Power, Donncha McDonagh and Seán Tester for a concert to remember. Attendees went home smiling.

Let’s not forget our President, Gordon Ledbetter, who was master of ceremonies. He shared some fascinating anecdotes and insights related to John McCormack which added greatly to the evening. Gordon is a two time biographer of John McCormack and a talk he delivered at the RIAM a few years ago is well worth checking out. Here.

We also wish to thank our Society members who sponsored the three Bursaries.

  • Kevin Dwan
  • Marie O’Halloran
  • Eamon Duffy
