Abendmusik (meaning ‘evening music’) takes its name from the famous 17th Century Sunday afternoon concerts of St Mary’s Church, Lübeck, in northern Germany. Like its forbear, this new concert series for Galway offers the opportunity to hear vocal music on religious themes in a non-liturgical context, and in the historic church at the city’s heart.
Sacred and secular, old and new will be brought together, with five new commissions from Irish composers featuring alongside the finest music from centuries past. Some of Ireland’s most eminent ensembles and performers will take part alongside artists from around Europe.
Artistic Director, Mark Duley
