Music

The College has a strong music tradition tracing back to its origins – the first recorded major prize awarded to an OLMC student was the Trinity College Colony Medal for Piano in 1894. OLMC has a reputation for excellence in both ensemble and individual performance.

The College boasts a dedicated music centre, the Christina Creede Music Centre which features purpose built practice rooms (for group work activities and instrumental tuition), medium and large ensemble spaces, a digital Audio Transfer system and internal lift access directly into the College’s main performance space, the Edith Angel Hall.
