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 which has developed a reputation for innovative programming. The next festival will take place from 17-25 June 2011. The Dublin International Organ Competition (which forms the festival’s core) attracts young virtuosi from every corner of the world and has secured Ireland a respected position in the international organ-playing scene.
