Applications are now open for the Northern Ireland International Organ Competition (NIIOC) 2023. 

Taking place in Armagh between the 21 and 23 August, the competition calls organ players under the age of 22 to compete for cash prizes and personal feedback from professional jurys. 

There are three categories for entrants: 

As part of the competitions festivities, Isabelle Demers will lead a masterclass on 22 August in Armagh, and an Organist workshop on performance etiquette and presentation on 23 August. Both events are open to the public, as are the competition performances. 

The upper age limit for this year’s entrants has been extended to 22 due to the disruption of the competitions scheduled caused by Covid-19.
