Galway Cathedral Recitals

This Thursday!

It's that time of year again.... The first of our summer concerts takes place this coming Thursday, with an organ recital by Rónán Murray.

Rónán is a native of Dublin, where he is organist of St Joseph’s Parish Church, Glasthule. A noted improviser, his programme includes an improvisation on a theme to be given to him during the concert. He also plays music by Bach, Franck, Vierne, Clérambault and Guilmant.

The concert begins at 8:00pm, and full details are on our website:

That's a wrap!

The final concert of our 2024 summer season took place last Thursday, rounding off six wonderful weeks of music.

A sincere word of thanks to all who supported the concerts - we hope that you enjoyed the music as much as we did, and we look forward to seeing you again in 2025!
