The following piano students proudly represented the CIT Cork School of Music (Department of Keyboard Studies) at FEIS CEOIL this year. Several students entered multiple competitions and, as a result, Cork pianists performed in a total of 23 piano competitions. The performance standard at these events is always very high and the feedback received from adjudicators, audiences and Dublin colleagues was incredibly positive.
Congratulations to all of them for their hard work and professionalism, and to their teachers and parents. We wish them continued success in their musical studies.
Congratulations to all students and their teachers!
