Galway Early Music Festival

The Galway Early Music Festival, 26-27 May is at the crossroads where love is found and lost, new music meets old instruments and the high road of the female voice is taken.  Crossroads present choices, invite exploration and are places for music and dancing and for meeting friends.  Join us at our crossroads for two days of glorious instrumental and vocal music, joyous dance and a meeting of old and new friends in a programme that celebrates the amazing growth of early music performance in Galway and Ireland. <hr class="break-tag"/>This festival is especially a crossroads for director Maura Ó Cróinín, who will step down as chair and artistic director this year, as the Galway Early Music Festival takes a new path into the future.  “I have had such a wonderful time being a part of the Galway Early Music Festival since the very first year in 1996.  I have worked with amazing international, national and local artists, colleagues in the organisation, and volunteers, and have been thrilled to see interest in early music performance blossom in Galway and throughout Ireland. I look forward to the next decade the Galway Early Music Festival under its new organisers (more news to come!).’
