ESB Feis Ceoil 8 Classical music played with a whole new energy. 5,000 OF IRELAND'S best young classical musicians gathered at the RDS to compete in the ESB Feis Ceoil from Monday, March 31st to Friday, April 11th, 2014. There's a whole new energy at the ESB Feis Ceoil this year, as thousands of young classical musicians from across Ireland compete in over 180 individual music competitions at the 11-day annual festival. Brid Horan, Deputy Chief Executive, ESB, said: "ESB is proud to support Feis Ceoil, Ireland's biggest classical music festival, which plays a vital role in the development of young musicians in Ireland. We are delighted to showcase the ESB Choir of the Year competition and welcome the new addition of the Conducting Competitions. During the event the RDS will become home to some of Ireland's most talented young classical musicians. We wish them every success in their competitions and their ongoing musical pursuits". n ESB IS DELIGHTED to announce that Number 29 is open to visitors following an annual conservation, cleaning and maintenance programme, which takes place from late December to mid February each year. Visitors can now view the exhibition as a self guided visit or pre-book a fully guided tour from the basement to the attic, through rooms which have been furnished with original artefacts as they would have been in the years 1790 - 1820. A visit to the museum gives young and old alike a chance to experience what life was like for the fortunate who lived in such elegant townhouses, and the less fortunate who worked in them. While the experience is primarily designed to be self guided, new information kiosks and story boards have been installed and provide background information on the history of the period and the house - giving information on how each room was used for family life and further details Pictured (l-r): Sandra Hoey, Manager Number 29 with Pat O'Doherty, ESB Chief Executive and Brid Horan, ESB Deputy Chief Executive review material on the new information kiosks recently installed in Number 29. on the most important paintings and artefacts in the exhibition.
