Barry Douglas

Barry Douglas has established a major international career since winning the Gold Medal at the 1986 Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition, the first non-Russian pianist to do so since Van Cliburn in 1958. As Artistic Director of Camerata Ireland and the Clandeboye Festival, he continues to celebrate his Irish heritage while also maintaining an international touring schedule. Queen Elizabeth II appointed Barry Douglas to the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2002 New Year’s Honours List for services to music.
