  15. Testimonials! “The Cork International Choral Festival is without a doubt one of the highest-quality choral events in Europe. This is due to the immense amount of care and concern on the part of the organisers to make sure the guests have all their needs taken care of. I can also feel a genuine interest on the part of the public in the concerts, the competitions and all the fringe events. The evening concerts are a model of quality for the contestants as well as entertainment for the public. I hope the Festival will preserve these qualities in the future, and will find the support needed to continue this remarkable work.” Prof. Peter Erdei Kodaly Institute, Budapest, Hungary “I had a wonderful experience at the Cork International Choral Festival! What I experienced was a world class event on a major scale, wrapped in genuine warmth and hospitality. The flawless execution and success of the event is testament to the true passion and pride of your entire organization at every level, not only for the event but for the venue, which is Cork City itself. I was truly astonished to see you make it all look so easy.” Declan O’Brien, President Destinations Ireland & Beyond
