International piano competition

Sir, – I have had the pleasure of attending much of the 10th Dublin International Piano Competition, culminating in Tuesday’s final. It has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I wish to pay tribute to John O’Conor, Ann Fuller and their dedicated team for organising this great musical feast once again. Both in his personal career and in his role as artistic director of the piano competition, Mr O’Conor has been a wonderful ambassador for Irish classical music both at home and on the world stage. Congratulations and sincere thanks to all.
