“It means that I can pursue an academic degree, hopefully it will be engineering, yet be supported in my piano studies at the highest level. I can continue entering competitions, performing in concerts and festivals and taking part in other events. It gives me so many options careerwise,” he said. The Top Security/Frank Maher Classical Music Awards were created in 2001 by Emmet O’Rafferty, chairman of the Top Security Group, to honour the memory of his late teacher, Fr Frank Maher. They went nationwide in 2012 and have just opened for applications for 2022.
