EPTA PIANO FESTIVAL
EPTA Ireland invites you to join us in 2012 for our first Piano Festival, which marks EPTA Ireland's 30th birthday!
The aim of the festival is to create an annual event that celebrates the wonderful work that piano students and teachers are doing throughout Ireland, with a particular focus this year on the second level school student.
Central to this aim is a desire to create a positive performance environment for pianists which will encourage excellence in a constructive, supportive and meaningful way.

Events will take place on Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th of February in the Kevin Barry Room of the NATIONAL CONCERT HALL, DUBLIN. The schedule of competitions is now available.
Thanks to the support of the National Concert Hall, audience members will enjoy free entry to all festival events!
