PIPEWORKS MUSIC COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Pipeworks Music Company Limited by Guarantee is a Dublin-based charitable organisation dedicated to celebrating the organ and choral traditions of Ireland. Originating in 1980 as the Dublin International Organ & Choral Festival, Pipeworks now curates a vibrant programme of concerts, festivals and recital series that showcase both the nation's historic instruments and the spectacular venues that house them - from cathedrals and churches to concert halls.

The organisation is renowned for its ambitious "complete-works" projects, having presented the full organ output of J S Bach, Felix Mendelssohn, Dieterich Buxtehude, Olivier Messiaen and the organ symphonies of Louis Vierne, performed by Ireland's resident organists. In partnership with Whitefriar Street Church, Pipeworks runs the Bach Recitals series, offering free, expertly curated performances of Bach's Leipzig chorale preludes alongside complementary repertoire. Its flagship Pipeworks International Organ and Choral Festival, held each June, brings together internationally acclaimed performers, scholars and local talent, delivering unique experiences such as film-score concerts on the Willis organ of St Patrick's Cathedral. Through these initiatives, Pipeworks enriches Ireland's cultural life and nurtures a thriving community of organ enthusiasts and choral lovers.
