Waterford International Organ Festival (WIOF) 2024 took us “From the Deep Sea to Lofty Heights” and included special concerts inspired by Hamburg and Parisian composers.  As we celebrated the significant anniversaries of Gabriel Fauré, Théodore Dubois and Matthias Weckmann, WIOF brought world famous organists to Waterford to perform programmes from the golden eras of organ composition.

From the ocean depths and the deep bottom “C” of the organ to the heights reached from the organ loft, there was something for everybody at the 2024 festival. With a Bach Cantata, a Handel Organ Concerto, arias and choral masterpieces and an “Underwater Creatures” musical adventure for children, WIOF was truly rich in variety and colour.

WIOF proudly invited virtuosi Prof Matthias Havinga (Amsterdam) and Eric Lebrun (Paris) as well as many distinguished artists from around Ireland.
