A veritable institution in Ireland, Feis Ceoil is the largest national classical music competition. 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! The CCI is therefore delighted to be associated for the first time with the prestigious festival. We will introduce the young and talented pianist Rachel O'Hara. Born in Wicklow, Thérèse Fahy’s student at the Royal Irish Academy of Music has already won numerous awards and scholarships, including several first Feis Ceoil awards, including the Mabel Swainson Award in 2022. On the occasion of the JEP, Rachel will give us six recitals and will give us to hear a repertoire including the Irish composer Conor Linehan, as well as Haydn and Messiaen.
