Leitrim music players called to join 2020 project

Symphonic Waves, a West of Ireland Youth Orchestra set up in 2017 as part of Galway 2020 European Capital of Culture in collaboration with Music Generation Galway County is already making waves.

Under the guidance of Conductor Prof. James Cavanagh the orchestra has been in monthly rehearsals since July and has taken part in intensive residentials and received mentorships from Galway Music Residency’s ConTempo Quartet, the Irish Chamber Orchestra and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.
