NEW ROSS PIANO FESTIVAL
September 24th - 27th, 2009
 
Now in its fourth year, the New Ross Piano Festival continues to celebrate the enormous diversity of the piano, with five prize-winning pianists from Ireland, Finland, Korea, Italy and the UK over a weekend of concerts.

Antti Siirala and Sunwook Kim will share the three main concerts with Artistic Director Finghin Collins. The Callino Quartet will perform with one of the pianists at each concert and, with Finghin Collins, play the incredible Schnittke Piano Quintet at our late night concert.

Roberto Prosseda specialises in Mendelssohn and his solo recital includes some of his rarely heard works. Young Irish pianist Sophie Cashell, winner of the BBC Classical Star competition, will also give a solo recital.

The concerts take place in the 12th Century St Mary’s Church in New Ross, Co. Wexford.

The Festival also incorporates a public master class with selected third-level graduates on Saturday, a meet-the-pianist session with second-level students and, on Thursday, a concert by local piano students.
