The Cathedral's annual series of international summer concerts, which have taken place online for the last two years, returns this July.
We present six concerts, on Thursday evenings at 8:00pm, featuring everything from music for saxophone quartet and organ to choral music from the early sixteenth century, and three organ recitals. The series finishes with a special platform concert featuring up-and-coming young musicians from the Galway area.
The annual summer series of concerts takes place online this year, due to Covid-19 restrictions. They can be watched on the Galway Cathedral Recitals website:
