Limerick Festival first feedback

Below are a selection of some of the first comments we've had back about the MBNA Limerick International Music Festival 2009 (all names and addresses supplied).

By any barometer of achievement, the ICO delivered admirably with this festival

We would like to express our appreciation to members of the orchestra and the Festival organisers for all the work that went into the delightful Festival.

what a lovely event - the performances were played to very large audiences who seemed to be stimulated and excited by what they were witnessing

OS

I congratulate the ICO on choice of music for each and every performance, which was chosen to suit every classical musical taste. The packed attendance and enthusiastic approval of patrons at each performance was testament to success.

LM

Thank you, ICO for a most enjoyable, musical extravaganza which will be remembered by so many from both home and abroad.

I felt privileged to be there.

Just want to say how much I enjoyed the festival. It is a credit to all your (and all the team’s) hard work that it was such a success. We certainly can’t say we didn’t get variety, and all of it top class. The orchestra were superb, as usual.

Limerick Festival 2009

The MBNA Limerick International Music Festival is now over. The five days produced a welcome combination of good crowds and great music.

The new venue (the former Franciscan church) was widely praised as a city centre heart for the event, although there were some teething troubles to address (notably uncomfortable seating and an acoustic that didn't always do justice to the performances.

We need as much feed-back as possible, to make sure we learn the lessons of 2009 when preparing for 2010.
