From its beginnings in 1980 as the Dublin International Organ & Choral Festival, Pipeworks has brought to Irish audiences a diverse programme of music-making with the organ at its centre, fully exploiting not only the wonderful range of instruments to be found in Dublin but the splendid cathedrals, churches and concert halls which house them.

Pipeworks mounts a triennial ten-day festival, the most recent, which took place from 20-29 June 2008.
