They do so with the skills, creativity, and resilience to make a meaningful impact in Ireland and around the world,” said Prof Cusack. At the Cork School of Music graduation ceremony, Antonia Gergely said: “My time at MTU encouraged me to question the world around me, challenge traditional ideas, and connect with people through my art.”
