New Ross Piano Festival 2020 celebrates Beethoven
We’re happy to announce that there will be a token concert with a live audience to mark the cancellation of our 2020 Festival. The concert will take place on Sunday 27th September 2020 at 3.00pm in St. Mary’s Church. The performers will be the festival’s artistic director Finghin Collins and the young Cork pianist Ellen Jansson, while the programme will celebrate Beethoven in his 250th anniversary year.

Our festival story
In 2006 our piano festival began with a clear vision, to celebrate the piano and invite world-class pianists to perform in our local town of New Ross. Year on year we host an exciting programme of piano concerts, featuring original collaborations between our artists across a variety of classical genres, plus a whole day dedicated to jazz piano.
“The New Ross Piano Festival continues its established pattern of programme diversity and eclectic virtuosi mix.”
