Midleton College is thrilled to celebrate the remarkable achievement of our talented alumna, Eimear Boyle, who has been awarded the Quercus College Scholarship by University College Cork. This prestigious honor recognizes Eimear’s dedication, skill, and passion for music, reflecting the top-notch education and personal growth nurtured at Midleton College.

Eimear’s journey is a beautiful composition of hard work, artistic flair, and perseverance. As the top-performing student in her UCC degree program year, Eimear’s accolades extend far beyond her university studies. Her final year at Midleton College was marked by receiving the Musical Performance Award and the Mrs. E. F. Bennett Memorial Prize for Music, a testament to her musical brilliance.

The melody of Eimear’s success resonates with previous accomplishments that have shaped her artistic voyage. From being awarded the Royal Irish Academy of Music High Achiever Award to being a finalist in the Frank Maher Classical Music Awards 2021, her excellence has been consistently recognized. Eimear’s triumph in winning the Intermediate Recital competition in Féile Luimnigh in 2019 and her near-perfect scores in her Grade 8 flute exam from Trinity College London further underscore her extraordinary talent.

Eimear’s performance has graced many stages, including playing for Lady Jeanne Galway at a masterclass. As the principal flautist for the Barrack Street Youth Band, the Midleton Concert Band, Cork Youth Orchestra, and the Irish Youth Wind Ensemble, she has enchanted audiences with her magical flute playing.

The Quercus Talented Students’ Programme, known for supporting and promoting excellence across various fields, including academia, sport, creative arts, active citizenship, and innovation, has found a deserving scholar in Eimear. Her dedication to music and her relentless pursuit of perfection have not only won her this esteemed scholarship but also enriched the lives of those fortunate enough to witness her musical mastery.

Join us in extending our heartfelt congratulations to Eimear Boyle for this exceptional achievement. Her story is a symphony of success that inspires us all to strive for excellence, embrace our passions, and make beautiful music in the pursuit of our dreams. Here’s to Eimear’s continued success and many more enchanting performances! 🎼🎶🏆
