Count John Mc Cormack
Tenor

He was much honoured and decorated for his services to the world of music. In 1928, when he received the title of Papal Count from Pope Pius XI in recognition of his work for Catholic charities.

He had earlier received three papal knighthoods, Knight of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great and Knight of the Order of St. Sylvester. He was also a Knight of Malta and a Privy Chamberlain of the Sword and Cape.

To many people the highlight of McCormack's Irish career was his singing of César Franck's Panis Angelicus to the thousands who thronged Dublin's Phoenix Park for the 1932 Eucharistic Congress.

A life-sized bronze statue of John McCormack, by sculptor Elizabeth O'Kane, was unveiled in Dublin, on 19 June 2008. The statue stands in the Iveagh Gardens, close to the National Concert Hall.

In his hometown of Athlone, he is commemorated by Athlone Institute of Technology who named their performance hall after him. It is called the Count John McCormack Hall. As well as musical performances, it also hosts various functions and social events.
