Máire Carroll
Chopin – Piano Sonata No. 3
Máire Carroll, one of John O’Conor’s pupils, played at Anaverna as part of her preparation for the Dublin International Piano Competition which takes place in May.
Last year Máire was on the William Finlay Programme for Gifted Young Pianists. She has already won a number of competitions, played at the Aspen Festival in Colorado and also performed on the violin with the RIAM Chamber Orchestra in Shanghai. This week she was awarded the RDS Music Bursary which I gather is one of the biggest in Europe.
