We are thrilled to announce that from March 2012, our Annual Piano Festival will be open to students outside of our own Academy! We are very excited about giving the young budding pianists from the four corners of Ireland the opportunity to perform together, as part of their very own Festival! As we have students traveling to us for lessons from as far as Kilkenny and Wexford, we are sure that many students of piano will be only delighted to have the opportunity to perform at our Festival.
