Since its foundation, the Dublin Competition has grown in stature, and now ranks
with the most important such international events, not least for its generous
€12,000 first prize, but more importantly for the prestigious list of
engagements. These include début recitals in London, New York, appearances at
international festivals, and concertos with leading orchestras. |
