Derry-born pianist Ruth McGinley first gained national recognition at a young age, winning the piano final of the BBC Young Musician of the Year. She has since performed as soloist with orchestras including the BBC Philharmonic, London Mozart Players, RTÉ Concert Orchestra, NSO, and Ulster Orchestra, and has appeared at venues including the National Concert Hall, Barbican, Southbank Centre, and the Kennedy Centre. After a period away from the concert platform, she returned with her debut album Reconnection and was invited to perform at the BBC Proms in the Park. Her recording Aura, with composer Neil Martin, reimagines traditional Irish airs through a contemporary classical lens. Driven by a deep curiosity and a desire to connect beyond genre, Ruth has developed an expressive voice at the piano shaped by collaborations across classical, jazz, folk, electronic, and film music, always returning to emotional depth and the human heart of music. Pianadóir aitheanta as Doire Cholmcille is í Ruth McGinley. Is iomaí onóir atá tuillte aici, BBC Young Musician of the Year ina measc, agus is minic í ag seinm i gcomhluadar den scoth mar atá BBC Philharmonic, London Mozart Players, Ceolfhoireann Coirme RTÉ, Ceolfhoireann Shiansach Náisiúnta Éireann, agus Ulster Orchestra, agus in ionaid aitheanta cosuil leis an Ceoláras Náisiúnta, Southbank Centre, agus The Kennedy Centre. Ghlac Ruth sos beag ón ardán agus lena linn sin chruthaigh sí a céad albam aonarach Reconnection agus dá bharr sin tugadh cuireadh cuireadh do Ruth páirt a ghacadh i BBC Proms in the Park. Rinne sí taifead eile dar teideal Aura in éineacht le Neil Martin agus sa taifeas seo déanann Ruth mionscagadh ar fhoinn traidisiúnta trí lionsa an cheoil chlasacaigh. Is mór le Ruth ilghnéitheacht agus éagsúlacht sa cheol, rud a spreagann í chun dul i mbun tograí ceolmhara agus taiscéalaíocha ar fud gach réimse ceoil idir cheol clasaiceach, snagcheol, leictreonach, traidisiúnta, agus ceol scannán, agus í ar thóir croí na héigse agus croí an cheoil mar ghné dúchasach agus daonna i measc daoine. Áras an Uachtaráin Áras an Uachtaráin is situated in the 1,752 acres of the Phoenix Park near Dublin, built in 1751 for the Phoenix Park chief ranger. By 1782 it had been acquired for use by the Viceroys who oversaw British rule in Ireland. The house continued as the official residence of the Viceroys until 1922. For much of the period that followed it was the residence of the Governors General, the Crown’s representatives in Ireland. In 1938 it became the Official Residence of the President of Ireland and has been used for that purpose since. Tá Áras an Uachtaráin suite san 1,752 acra de Pháirc an Fhionnuisce gar do Bhaile Átha Cliath. Is é an Maor Páirce a thóg an teach bunaidh in 1751 agus faoin mbliain 1782 bhí seilbh faighte air le húsáid ag Fir Ionaid an Rí a rinne maoirsiú ar riail na Breataine in Éirinn. Bhí an teach fós ina áit chónaithe oifigiúil ag Fir Ionaid an Rí go dtí 1922. Ar feadh chuid mhaith de thréimhse an Rialtais Dúchais a lean, b’ áit chónaithe Sheanascail Shaorstát Éireann, ionadaithe na Corónach le linn na dispeansáide nua, a bhí ann. In 1938 rinneadh Áit Chónaithe Oifigiúil Uachtarán na hÉireann de agus tá sé á úsáid lena aghaidh sin ó shin.
