The Dublin Philharmonic Society is a voluntary non-profit making society established in 1985 by Vincent O’Neill and a group of like-minded, music-loving friends to give talented young musicians the valuable opportunity to perform to a live audience and develop their presentation skills.

Junior RIAM musicians perform a movement from a concerto/work written for solo instrument/voice and orchestra for the chance to win €600 and a public recital presented by the Dublin Philharmonic Society in memory of Vincent O’Neill.
