Since our foundation in 1968 uilleann piping has experienced an extraordinary renaissance – the art form has now developed into a major world music genre, with thousands of players globally. Consequently, demand for instruments and instruction continues to grow. Na Píobairí Uilleann delivers a wide range of services from our painstakingly restored 1740s building at number 15 on Dublin’s historic Henrietta Street. These services include providing access to instruments, education, performances and preservation. Now we have a unique opportunity to support evergrowing, worldwide demand for services by developing the award-winning design for the adjacent site of no. 16.
