Three musical ensembles from Galway are joining forces for a one-of-a-kind concert this month – and you’re invited! Taking place at 8pm on Saturday, 24 May, in the Augustinian Church, Middle Street, the event promises an uplifting night of choral, brass, and community music, in support of the Galway Simon Community.
Hosted by the Galway Choral Association, with support from major sponsor DAVY, the concert will also feature the Frenchville Brass Ensemble and the Galway Simon Community Music Project, showcasing the incredible musical diversity and spirit of collaboration that Galway is known for.
“We’re thrilled to present a Summer Concert featuring shorter choral works from the 20th century,” says Norman Duffy, Musical Director of Galway Choral Association. “These include Elgar’s Three Motets, Op. 2 and Tavener’s Funeral Ikos. We’re also proud to share the stage once again with the Galway Simon Community Music Project — it’s always inspiring to witness the joy that music brings to everyone involved.”
The programme offers something for everyone, from classical choral gems to brass ensemble favourites. “I’ve really loved working on the music this term,” says choir member Angelika Knoll. “We’re performing beautiful works by Elgar, Tavener, and Bruckner —which are very accessible, even if you’re new to choral singing. We welcome new members again at the for of the next season, which will start in September, I only joined last year myself and am enjoying it so much.”
This is more than just a concert — it’s a celebration of Galway’s rich musical community and a chance to support a vital local cause. Don’t miss this inspiring night of music and community.
