RIAM Young Artist Dylan Keane performs at Business to Arts Awards 2025

Published: 9th Sep, 2025

A big thank you to Business to Arts for a fantastic awards ceremony at the National Concert Hall last night. RIAM were honoured to be nominated in three categories across partnerships with Ace Autobody Ltd., Ecclesiastical Insurance and Clinch Wealth Management, and while we were unlucky not to bring home any of the awards, it was wonderful that the Academy was represented by 12-year-old Dylan Keane, one of RIAM's Young Artists whose playing of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody in A Minor was enthusiastically received.

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees on the night, and congratulations and thanks to Louise O'Reilly, Valerie Ringrose Fitzsimons, Chris Chapman, Jan Li Tan and the team for a very entertaining evening. And to TD Patrick O'Donovan for a very thought-provoking speech on the importance of the arts not just in terms of promoting Irish culture but also in protecting our democracy and values.
