Founded in 1896 to promote excellence in musical training and performance, this festival brings together some 5,000 participants of all ages, divided into nearly 200 competitions. Among the most illustrious winners are tenor John McCormack, pianist Hugh Tinney and mezzo-soprano Tara Erraught. but also author James Joyce, who received a bronze medal in 1904!
