| MUSIC | Abendmusik VI : Resounding Landscape | November Abendmusik VI : Resounding Landscape Music for Galway & Galway 2020 present MUSIC in association with Irish Baroque Orchestra Due to the ever changing circumstances, ticket sales for this event are on hold until further notice. To get updates, join the MfG mailing list on https://tinyurl.com/v283pj6 Serendipitously, our final Abendmusik of the season falls on the feast day of St Cecilia, patron saint of musicians. Purcell’s ode in honour of the Roman martyr sets a text by Irishman Nicholas Brady in which a wide array of musical instruments are extolled both as human characters and voices of nature itself. Heaven and earth are brought together, and the “jarring seeds of matter” into agreement, in Purcell’s grand choruses and intimate arias and duets. These themes are the inspiration for the programme’s “curtain-raiser”: Rhona Clarke’s new setting of Hildegard’s extraordinary O vis eternitatis, a celebration of the divinity of the created order.

| THEATRE | November Blindboy Live PODCAST Show In association with AMA Music Agency THEATRE POSTPONED Blindboy's increased notability away from his band Rubberbandits, has allowed for him to explore wider avenues and create perhaps outrageously mind-altering brainchildren which can only be described as courageous, yet bonkers. With a number one selling book under his belt and a podcast that has reached interest not only in Ireland but internationally, the satirist could possibly single-handedly change people's mindset on mental health and the deafening stigma it surrounds. Outspoken, informed and empathetic, Blindboy engages his audience with an unusual touch of realism. There is a very authentic feeling of "freedom" he exhumes which allows his listeners and participants to openly speak their mind without judgement and no topic off limits - certainly an air of belonging encircling the space you find yourself in when listening or in the company of Blindboy. His latest innovative creation, The Blindboy Podcast does not only indoctrinates mental health issues but reaches further into a wide spectrum of current topics, may it be gun laws, feminism, racism or a bit of history. Blindboy has it covered. ‘’His uncanny ability to articulate what nearly everyone is thinking is unparalleled and something that is sorely needed in Irish society’’ The Daily Edge Blindboy has over 1 x million listeners to his podcast No 1 bestseller Book in Ireland Frontman with Rubberbandits as seen on Trainspotting Movie ( T2) BBC - Hosted his own TV show (see BBC i-player) Listen to Spike LEE + Blindboy Podcast Radio Times international list the biggest podcasts in the world, Blindboy Joins the top list | 29th Nov | ||

The lineup of performers includes Galway’s most wellknown players alongside some of the brightest young Irish singers emerging on the European scene.
