Galway soprano wins two singing awards at national Feis Ceoil
A graduate of the Royal Irish Academy of Music, Ms Banks has been competing in the Feis Ceoil since 2014. The young singer has won a full scholarship for her postgraduate studies in the Royal Academy of Music in London, which begins in September.
Ms Banks could still claim more silverware this weekend as she prepares to compete in several further singing competitions.
The Feis Ceoil competitions are being held in Purcell House and The Chapel on the All Hallows campus in Drumcondra, Dublin this month.
Feis Ceoil has recently completed a re-structuring process ahead of a new development phase for the organisation. Organisers hope the re-structuring will build on its position as Ireland's largest classical music competition.
A selection of the competitors from this year's Feis Ceoil will be showcased at a special Gala Concert in the National Concert Hall on Monday, June 23 at 7.30pm.

Two young musicians awarded bursary in memory of true stalwart of the Wexford stage
The bursary was established in 2023, a year following Betty's sad passing. The award was an apt way to honour Betty's memory given her long history in the musical societies of Wexford. Betty was extremely well-known for her work with the likes of Wexford Light Opera Society (WLOS) and Wexford Festival Opera, as well as volunteering experience stretching back to 1968 with the Wexford Festival Opera. Betty served as chairperson for Music for Wexford from 2007 until her passing in 2022. The bursary in her memory will go on to help classical guitarist Dean Glynn and Irish harpist Mollie Carroll, two exceptionally talented young artists from County Wexford. Dean Glynn began studying classical guitar at the age of 6 at the County Wexford School of Music under David Creevy. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, studying under Peter Katona. Dean's accolades include winning the Bach Guitar Prize at Feis Ceoil 2024, and being a finalist and prize-winner in the inaugural Maeve Broderick Prize for Strings, where he received awards for both Most Original Programme and Best Audience Engagement. He has also performed at ChamberFest Dublin and on the main stage of the National Opera House, and serves on the Music for Wexford Youth Committee. Mollie Carroll has played the Irish harp since the age of eight. Music has always been a central part of her life, and she uses the harp as a way to explore both tradition and innovation. While her heart lies in traditional Irish music, she loves fusing styles, experimenting with pop, rock, and classical genres to shape her sound. Mollie performs with the Wexford Harp Ensemble and is a member of CCÉ Gorey/Ballygarrett. The bursary audition panel consisted of Beth McNinch (Viola), Aisling Ennis (Harp), Caitriona Frost (Percussion), and Eamon Sweeney (Guitar). Speaking on the award, artistic director Beth McNinch said: "Both young musicians showed outstanding musical talent and connection with the audience in their auditions, and the panel felt that together they would provide a really interesting concert to close out our Summer Season." Music for Wexford believes it is vital to offer young musicians paid performance opportunities, which can be difficult to find outside of school or college. To address this, the organisation has dedicated its July programming to supporting emerging artists, with lunchtime concerts on July 2, 9, and 16 at 1 p.m. in St Iberius Church, featuring musicians from the Royal Irish Academy of Music and Cork School of Music. ADVERTISEMENT These concerts promise a vibrant mix of wind, brass, piano, voice, and strings. In addition, all bursary applicants are invited to 'take over' Music for Wexford's Culture Night programming each year, curating and performing their own concerts. This initiative provides a unique and valuable learning experience for the next generation of performers. As part of their award, Dean and Mollie will perform a lunchtime concert on Wednesday, July 23 at 1 p.m. in St Iberius Church, Wexford, closing out Music for Wexford's summer season. Audiences can look forward to a refreshing blend of classical, traditional Irish, and contemporary arrangements. Tickets can be bought on the official Music for Wexford website.

‘Lia's journey encouraged me to further my own education'
I am delighted to share my journey alongside my sister, Lia Gogarty, as we navigate the world of performance, education, and inclusion . My passion for acting began at the age of three, nurtured by encouraging teachers and parents. I completed all grades in drama and speech with the Royal Academy of Music before pursuing a degree in Drama at Sligo University. During my studies, I took on the rewarding challenge of teaching Lia and her friends with Down syndrome in Louth for four years, including during the pandemic via Zoom. Their creativity and resilience inspired my thesis, which explored teaching young adults with disabilities through the Chekhov technique. This involves a psychophysical approach to acting. Chekhov's technique encourages actors to keep their emotions grounded in physical gestures – it is guided by principles like movement, radiating and improvisation. My research led me to engage with innovative acting schools and theatre companies dedicated to inclusive performance, shaping my perspective on the power of artistic expression for all. READ MORE Lia, in turn, was inspired by my path and pursued a degree in acting, recently completing her studies. Her journey encouraged me to further my education, leading me to a postgraduate degree in primary education. I specialised in special educational needs and worked within Special Education Needs and Disabilities units while continuing to integrate drama into my teaching. Committed to deepening my expertise, I later completed a postgraduate qualification to become a special educational needs co-ordinator. This year, I have had the privilege of working in a primary school for children with speech and language difficulties – a role that has allowed me to combine my love for acting with my passion for education. Now, as I prepare to return to Ireland this summer, I look forward to bringing the knowledge and experiences I have gained back home, championing inclusivity and creative learning for future generations.
