8th Annual National Piano Festival - 10th - 12th March 2017
We are really looking forward to hosting our 8th Annual National Piano Festival. Based on feedback from previous Festivals, what sets our Festival apart is a combination of things - the wide age categories, from under 6 years tots all the way to the Over 50’s, the freedom of ‘own choice’ pieces, the relaxed ‘concert’ setting (with a healthy competitive edge), comprehensive feedback delivered to each performer, FREE gift for all participants and finally something else that doesn’t usually come with National Festivals – warm-up pianos! Pianos Plus will be providing us yet again with their fabulous facility, of both warm-up pianos and a beautiful Recital Room.
We are very pleased to enclose details of next year’s National Piano Festival, which will take place once again at Pianos Plus Showrooms & Recital Room: Oak Road, Dublin 12 (easy access off M50) Friday 10th & Sunday 12th March 2017.
In 2016 we were host to those travelling from as far as counties Louth, Meath, Westmeath, Kildare, Wicklow, Kilkenny, Roscommon, Sligo and Armagh as well as the greater Dublin area itself. Based on the very positive feedback we received in previous years we are expecting an even greater number of entries this time!
Thanking you for your support!
Please spread the word & pass on the enclosed Information Brochures & application forms to your teachers & students, our Festival being an ideal platform for pianists for all ages and levels. The closing date for entries is Monday 12th February 2017.
