Pipeworks, formerly the Dublin International Organ & Choral Festival
From its beginnings in 1980 as the Dublin International Organ & Choral Festival, Pipeworks has brought to Irish audiences a diverse programme of music-making with the organ at its centre. Pipeworks fully exploits not only the wonderful range of instruments to be found in Dublin and beyond, but also the splendid cathedrals, churches and concert halls which house them.
Every three years, pipeworks mounts a ten-day festival, the next of which will take place from 20-29 June 2008. The festival has developed a reputation for innovative programming, and the 2008 festival will be no exception. A feature of the festival is the organ-playing competition which attracts young virtuosi from every corner of the world and which has secured Dublin a respected position in the international organ-playing scene. |

Guest competition jurors from Sweden, the USA, France, Germany, and the UK will perform and give masterclasses; celebrated international ensembles will participate alongside our own premier ensembles, including the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra, RTÉ Philharmonic Choir and the three cathedral choirs of Dublin.
