It’s that time of year again! The annual series of summer concerts in Galway Cathedral begins on Thursday 8 July and continues with a concert each Thursday evening until 12 August. Most of the concerts feature the Cathedral’s magnificent organ, recently rebuilt and now the most exciting instrument in the country; and the very finest of Irish and international talent is featured.

Highlights of the series include:

Chamber Philharmonia Cologne, an exciting chamber orchestra from the city whose name they bear (12 August)

A concert of Baroque music by soprano Róisín O'Grady and world-famous keyboard player Malcolm Proud, using both of the Cathedral organs as well as his own harpsichord (15 July)

A concert of music for trumpet & organ by Michael Harrison and Emma Gibbins from Belfast (5 August)

...as well as solo organ recitals by Susan Landale (Paris) on 8 July, Uwe Bestert (Hamburg) on 29 July and Raymond O'Donnell (Galway Cathedral) on 22 July.

Admission to each of the concerts is €12.00 (concessions €8.00) at the door. A Friend’s ticket, which gives admission to all six concerts, is excellent value at €60.00: see the website (http://recitals.galwaycathedral.ie) for details, as well as full programmes and further information on this year’s performers.

Come to the Cathedral, enjoy good music in this wonderful setting, and afterwards meet the performers over a glass of wine!
