Annual Bursary Concert

Posted byJohn McCormack SocietyPosted inNews

What a wonderful night was had at the Royal Irish Academy of Music where our bursary recipients delivered memorable performances of pieces by Mozart, Beethoven, Handel, our own Michael William Balfe, and many others.

We were delighted that members of the McCormack family were able to join us and take part in the concert, with David McCormack being our MC on the night, and his aunt, Tish Tinney presenting the prizes. As always, Niall Kinsella, the much in demand accompanist and conductor, played a blinder.

Below is a selection of photographs from the night.
