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.”
