4th Annual National Piano Festival 2013
In 2012 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 (and last year being our first National Festival), we are expecting an even greater number of entries this time! We are also planning some fabulous recitals throughout the Festival, details to follow.
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 has been extended until Friday 25th January 2013.
Applications now closed
