In 2016, the Stanford Society visited Stanford’s home town of Dublin. The Festival Weekend featured guided tours around Stanford’s Dublin, visiting the church that Stanford would have attended, Stanford’s house and Trinity College.
There were a selection of choral and instrumental concerts in St Patrick’s and Christchurch Cathedrals, both of which Stanford had involvement with in his youth.
The Stanford Society gala dinner was hosted in the exclusive Kildare Club with after dinner speeches by both Jeremy Dibble, the societies President and Stanford’s biographer and John Covell, Chairman of the Stanford Society.
