Congratulations to Joe O’Grady (6D) who won the top prize at the 2023 Frank Maher Classical Music Awards, Ireland’s largest such competition for secondary schools.
Joe was one of six finalists at the competition on Friday 27th October in the Royal College of Physicians in Dublin. It was an evening of outstanding teen musical talent at which Joe performed two pieces – ‘Sonata no.7, 2nd Movement’ and ‘Sonata No.7, 3rd Movement’ both by composer Sergei Prokofiev.
This competition was won by Gonzaga alumnus Stan O'Beirne (Class of 2022) in 2021.
