The DIPC is sad to announce the death of Ann Fuller, one of the visionary Co-Founders of the DIPC.   Ann leaves behind an indelible mark on the world of piano competitions and a legacy that will resonate for generations to come. 

Ann was a passionate advocate for the DIPC, a remarkable leader, dedicated to nurturing the competitors in the DIPC and empowering the winners.

Ann’s unwavering commitment to the DIPC, excellence in piano performance, strong leadership and the ability to garner loyalty from both her Administration Team and the volunteers at the DIPC was phenomenal.  

Ann believed in the transformative power of music and its ability to connect people across all cultures and backgrounds.  Under Ann’s guidance the DIPC blossomed into a prestigious platform that showcased extraordinary talent.   Ann passed on her passion for the DIPC to all who were fortunate enough to cross her path. 

As we reflect on Ann’s extraordinary life, we celebrate not only her accomplishments, but also the profound influence she had on the hearts and minds of those she mentored.  

In Ann’s honour, let us carry forward her legacy by continuing to support DIPC, extend the impact Ann had, and cherish the wonderful memories.

Rest in Peace Ann.
